Presentation transcript:

The Nature of Maps & Spatial Databases A Cartography Refresher Course

Viewing the world What are some of the different ways people view the world, and how does this effect the way we represent spatial data?

A Map as an Information Source What characteristics does a map have which makes it different to other sources of information?

Modelling the natural world What is spatial modelling and how is it used?

Reference Framework Why it is important to supply a reference framework for the display of land information.

Representation in a computer database What makes a digital cartographic database different from a digital spatial database?

The quality of information (good and bad spatial information products)

Conversion from Spatial Entity to Object to Graphic Element Taking 'real world' entities (windmill, road, lake) and converting them to objects in a database (nodes, arcs and polygons) and then to graphic elements (point symbol, line symbol, area symbol).

Information overlays New information can be discovered by overlaying data layers.

Spatial Analysis Functions Overlay, buffer, proximity, connectivity and Boolean logic are some basic analysis functions.

Mapping Project Example Application of spatial analysis to a specific land management problem. SUITABILITY MODEL The user can create a campground suitability model using the spatial analysis functions Suitability may be a function of elevation, roads and water. Primary LayerDerived layerAfter analysis of data layers ElevationSlopePreferred slope (eg. Flat surface) RoadsProximity to roadsPreferred roads (eg. Site within 1km of road) WaterProximity to waterPreferred water (eg. Potable water nearby) ElevationViewsPreferred views (eg. View of lake) ElevationAspectPreferred aspect (eg. North facing) SUITABILITY MAP Created by locating site (if any) that satisfies all suitability requirements.

Test your knowledge (Refer back to the slides after each attempt) a.What are some of the different ways people view the world? b.Explain the process of the conversion of a spatial entity, to an object, then to a graphic element? c.What does it mean that information gained through the visual analysis of a map is greatly enhanced when digital analysis is also undertaken? d.Explain the statement “The geometry of selected features on the surface of the earth can be converted into coordinates representing nodes (points) and arcs (line segments).” e.What does the term ‘Reference Framework” mean? f.What makes a digital cartographic database different from a digital spatial database? g.Demonstrate why “good” data are a prerequisite for “good” decisions. h.When it comes to spatial analysis what is the advantage of storing spatial data as themed layers in a spatial database? i.Define the following terms: Overlay, buffer, proximity, network, and Boolean logic.
