Further discussion of database normalization and relates, overlays, buffers, and other means of working with GIS data in a relational database structure.
In class presentations.
Manipulating data through queries, overlays, and other methods become more complex with relational databases, but understanding how to work with these data is fundamental to organizing a project in digital structure.
Maps published in a number of Andean countries in South America (i.e., Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia) are still often based on the Provisional South American Datum of 1956, La Canoa (Venezuela), abbreviated to “PSAD56”.
This week's class will focus on data organization and management for GIS applications to anthropological research. Specifically, we will spend time discussing the importance of relational databases and means of organizing and querying data organized into related tables.
