Tasks Accomplished With GIS Software

Typical tasks carried out with GIS are:

  • viewing / exploring data
  • creating data (the dataset is extended)
  • editing data (the dataset is modified)
  • storing
  • conflation (integrating datasets from different sources)
  • transforming (into different coordinates systems, different representations, re-sampling - resulting in new representation/format of the same data)
  • querying (resulting in a selection from the dataset)
  • analysing (resulting in a new dataset, with new information obtained from the original dataset)
  • create maps

Famous quotes containing the words tasks and/or accomplished:

    A father who will pursue infant care tasks with ease and proficiency is simply a father who has never been led to believe he couldn’t.
    Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)

    My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
