GIS Data System
Types of Data for GIS systems
1. ArcView shapefile format (shp,shx,dbf)
2. ArcInfo coverage (eOO export)
3. Geo Tiff images (tif,tfw)
4. Mrsid images (sid, sdw)
5. CAD drawing (dwg, dxf files)
6. Raster Data Sets (DEM, Land Rover, precipitation)
7. Non-Spatial data, joined to existing spatial data (i.e Census data)
This is an example slide that was presented to in class by Kent Jensen that shows the use of GIS system of a buffered stream and the land that was buffered around it.
