Data Services

GIS data typically comes in two forms: vector data or raster data.

• Vector Data (Point, Line, Polygon)
  • Point: non-adjacent features and discrete data points
    • Eg: city locations, points of interest, or school locations
  • Line: linear features and one dimension (length) data
    • Eg: road center lines, hydrology
  • Polygon: two dimensional features and area and perimeter data
    • Eg: Boundary of a city, lake, or province
• Raster Data (Grid)
  • Cell based data
    • Eg: aerial and satellite imagery
  • Two types: continuous and discrete
