This course focuses on building a GIS data base. It addresses theoretical issues regarding data models and data structures used in GIS and considers the processing required to input data from a variety of sources, register map layers, transform co-ordinate systems, and edit and clean a multi-map-sheet, multi-theme data base. Prereq: GEOG 255 Lab fee: $20
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
