:Computer system for capturing storing querying analyzing and displaying geographically referenced data. 地理信息系统(GIS) 是用于输入、存储、查询、分析和显示地理参照数据的计算机系统.
referenced data: Also called geospatial data, describe both locations and characteristics of spatial features. 地理参照数据又称地理空间数据,描述空间要素的位置和特征
data:描述空间要素特征的数据
4. Spatial Data:描述空间要素几何特征的数据
5. Discrete features:指观测值不连续的要素,形成分离的实体,并可单个地识别.
6. Continuous features:指观测值连续的要素
