Geographic Data
Geographic data, also known as spatial data, refers to information that describes the physical location and characteristics of features on the Earth's surface. This data includes attributes such as latitude, longitude, elevation, and additional properties specific to geographic features like rivers, mountains, cities, and roads. Geographic data is commonly used in various applications, including GIS (Geographic Information Systems), mapping, navigation, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and natural resource management. It can be represented in different formats, such as vector data (points, lines, polygons) and raster data (grids of cells), and stored in specialized file formats like Shapefile or GeoJSON. Analyzing and visualizing geographic data involves techniques such as spatial analysis, interpolation, and overlay operations to derive insights and make informed decisions based on spatial relationships and patterns.
