Industry Standards (Data Transfer Structures)

A

typically don’t exchange topology, only graphic info; large number of format transfers

45
Q

Open GIS Consortium (OGC) (Data Transfer Structures)

A

non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards organization - created GML or Geography Markup Language - XML based encoding standard

46
Q

PostScript (Vector)

A

page definition language to export or print a map

47
Q

Digital Exchange Format (DXF) (Vector)

A

AutoCAD - no topology but lots of details

48
Q

Digital Line Graph (DLG) (Vector)

A

distributed by the government and most GIS packages will import but extra manipulation needed

49
Q

61
Q

Band Interleaved by Pixel (BIP) or Band Interleaved by line (BIL) (Raster)

A

good at storing different brightness levels

62
Q

RS Landsat (Raster)

A

satellite imagery and BIL information are combined

63
Q

Raster to Vector

A

not difficult based on pixel value

64
Q

Vector to Raster

A

very difficult because pixels may distort the lines or exact point locations and would need to be re-digitized
