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:

    More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
