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)

    Can we love our children when they are homely, awkward, unkempt, flaunting the styles and friendships we don’t approve of, when they fail to be the best, the brightest, the most accomplished at school or even at home? Can we be there when their world has fallen apart and only we can restore their faith and confidence in life?
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
