Geographical Information Systems discusses GIS components, data modelling, and input/preprocessing of spatial data. GIS is an information system designed to work with geographically referenced data. It has four main components - hardware, software, data, and personnel. Data can be represented through vector or raster models and attributes are added to give meaning. Primary data is obtained directly while secondary data requires preprocessing. Data quality and coordinate systems must be considered for integration.

This document discusses CAD standards and assembly modeling. It covers three main approaches to assembly modeling: top-down, bottom-up, and combination. It also describes common mating conditions for assembly such as coincident, coplanar, concentric, and tangent. The purpose of CAD standards for data exchange between systems is explained. Common data exchange formats like IGES and STEP are introduced along with organizational structures to support graphics standards.

This document discusses various CAD standards including: 1. Graphical standards like GKS and OpenGL that define graphics primitives and device independence. 2. Data exchange standards like IGES and STEP that define neutral formats for transferring geometric and non-geometric CAD data between systems. 3. Communication standards like LAN and WAN that define how CAD data is transferred over networks between systems. The goals of CAD standards are to enable interoperability and portability of CAD data across different software and hardware platforms. They aim to support the complete transfer of product description data.

This document provides tips for optimizing map services. It discusses organizing data into basemaps and operational layers, and serving maps as cached tiles, dynamic services, or client-side graphics. It recommends pre-computing elements like projections and indexes for better performance. The document also covers authoring templates, mobile maps, and feature services, and using server-side symbology at ArcGIS 10.1.

Data input and editing in GIS involves collecting, digitizing, and correcting geospatial data to build a GIS database. There are two main types of data sources: digital data which may require processing or conversion, and non-digital hardcopy data which must be digitized. Common digitizing methods include on-screen digitizing, scanning, and geocoding of hardcopy maps and plans. Data editing aims to correct locational, topological, and attribute errors introduced during data input. Thorough planning is required to determine the best data collection and input methods based on factors like data format, source, accuracy needs, and project requirements.

The document discusses vector data models in GIS. Vector data models represent geographic features using points, lines, and polygons. The key vector data models are the spaghetti model, which encodes features as strings of coordinates, and the TIN (triangulated irregular network) model, which creates a network of triangles connecting points. Vector models allow for discrete boundaries but complex algorithms, while raster models divide space into a grid but are simpler.

The document discusses vector data models in GIS. Vector data models represent geographic features using points, lines, and polygons. The two main types of vector data models are the spaghetti model and the TIN (triangulated irregular network) model. The spaghetti model stores vector data as strings of coordinate pairs without any topological relationships, while the TIN model creates a network of triangles to store topological relationships between features. Vector data models are useful for storing data with discrete boundaries but are more complex for analysis compared to raster data models.

This document discusses sharing historical maps and atlases through interactive web applications. It outlines a workflow for digitizing map collections that includes scanning maps, georeferencing them, creating mosaic datasets and image services, and developing a web app for users to view, compare and download maps. The goal is to provide rich online access to collections while archiving physical maps. Recommendations cover project planning, metadata, quality scanning, precise georeferencing, and sharing resources to enable others to digitize their own map archives.

The document discusses CAD data exchange formats. It describes the problems with proprietary CAD file formats and the need for standardized exchange formats. It provides an overview of several important exchange formats, including IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) and STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data). IGES was an early standard but had reliability issues. STEP aims to model more product information beyond just geometry and has become the emerging international standard, though adoption is still increasing. Other relevant standards discussed include DXF, STL, and SAT.

The document discusses various methods for collecting and inputting data into a GIS system. There are primary and secondary data sources, with primary data collected directly through field surveys and remote sensing, and secondary data obtained from existing maps and tables. Data can be input through keyboard entry of attributes, manual or automatic digitization of spatial features from paper maps, or scanning of maps. Methods like COGO use survey measurements of distances and bearings for data input. Proper metadata is also needed to understand the data being input into the GIS.

This document provides an overview of geographic information systems (GIS). It defines GIS as a system for capturing, storing, analyzing and presenting spatial data linked to locations. Key points include: - GIS merges cartography and database technology to store and link map features to attribute data. - The main components are a database for storing attribute and spatial data, tools for managing and analyzing spatial relationships, and functions for producing maps. - GIS allows for integration of diverse spatial datasets, visualization, querying, overlay analysis and other functionality to support decision-making. - Popular GIS software includes ArcGIS, ArcView and AutoCAD Map.

GIS is a computer-based information system used to capture, manage, update, analyze, display, and output spatial data and information to be used in a decision making context. It integrates hardware, software, data, people, and allows for the visualization and analysis of data with a geographic component. Some key applications of GIS include emergency response, transportation planning, site selection, and natural resource management.

GIS training

The 2010 AGIC Expo changed formats and only had 7 minute presentations. This was a very abbreviated version of my GIS for Maintenance Management

From a presentation at APWA - I used AutoCAD Map 3D to demonstrate various principles - they don't come across in the PDF. Maybe I'll post a video, or maybe video supplements. In the actual presentation, I had a longer intro illustrating the value of place. I dropped the slides from this version as they would have no value without the talking. Again, maybe I'll make a video of that. I thought it came out well.

The document discusses harnessing the integrated power of AutoCAD Map 3D and ESRI software through Autodesk's interoperability tools.
