The Raster GIS
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)Current GISs differ according to the way they organize reality through the data model. Each model tends to fit certain types of data and applications better than others. The data model chosen for a particular project or ... -

Vector GIS
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)The Vector GIS model is based on vectors (as opposed to spaceoccupancy raster structures). Its fundamental primitive is a point. Objects are created by connecting points with straight lines. Some systems allow points to ...
