Spatial data
The data or information that identifies the geographic location of features and boundries.
On earth, such as natural and construted features like Ocean, lake, pond etc.
Spatial data is usually stored as coordinate and topology, and is data that can be mapped.

IN GIS THEARE ARE TWO BASIC
SPATIAL DATA TYPES
RASTER DATA
VECTOR DATA
IN GIS THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF SPATIAL DATA TYPES
Vector Data
Vector data provide a way to represent real world features within the GIS environment. A vector feature has its shape represented using geometry. The geometry is made up of one or more interconnected vertices. A vertex describe a position in space using an x, y and optionally z axis. In the vector data model, features on the earth are represented as:
• points
• lines / routes
• polygons / regions
• TINs (triangulated irregular networks)
Vector Data
This system of recording features is based on the interaction between arcs and nodes, represented by points, lines and polygons. A point is a single node, a line is two nodes with an arc between them, and a polygon is a closed group of three or more arcs. With these three elements , it is possible to record most all necessary information.
Points Lines Polygons
Vector Data
Advantages
• accurately representing true shape and size
• representing non-continuous data (e.g., rivers, political boundaries, road lines)
• Vectors can store information
About topology• A vector data model uses points stored by their real (earth) coordinates and so requires a• precise coordinate system. • Geographic Coordinate System Latitude/Longitude
• Cartesian Coordinate Systems X,Y Coordinate system
Vector Data
Disadvantages:
• The location of each vertex needs to be stored explicitly.
• Vector data must be converted into a topological structure.
• This is often processing intensive and usually requires extensive data cleaning.
• Updating or editing of the vector data
requires re-building of the topology.

Raster Data
Raster Data – cell –based data such as aerial imagery and digital elevation models. Raster data is characterized by pixel values. Basically, a raster file is a giant table, where each pixel is assigned a specific value from 0 to 255. The meaning behind these values is specified by the user – they can represent elevations, temperature, hydrology and etc.

Impact of resolution
*Portraying large areas at high precision is problematic
90m resolution
10m resolution
*Storage space increases by the square of the resolution
Advantages:
• Raster is the best way to store continuously changing values such as elevation, slope.
• Analysis faster and more flexible then vector for many application.
• Rapid computations ("map algebra") in which raster layers are treated as elements in mathematical expressions

Raster Data
Disadvantages:
• It is especially difficult to adequately represent linear features depending on the cell resolution.
• Network linkages are difficult to establish.
• Processing of associated attribute data may be cumbersome if large amounts of data exists.
• Raster maps inherently reflect only one attribute or characteristic for an area.
• Most output maps from grid-cell systems do not conform to high-quality cartographic needs.
