What Is Spatial Data ?

What Is Spatial Data?

● Answers the Question “Where”?

● Any Data that has a spatial

component, i.e. location

○ Address

○ Census Information

○ Land records

What Can you do with

Spatial Data ?

Using Spatial Data, you can solve problems with Spatial

Components.

Mostly, you are finding Spatial patterns,

discovering Correlations, querying, filtering &

processing data and performing spatial

modelling

What Do I Need to Know?

Data Models

Raster

raster data model: A representation of the world as a surface divided into a regular grid of cells.

Vector

vector data model: A representation of the world using points, lines, and polygons.

File Formats

• Shapefile• GeoJSON• KML• TIFF• Spatial Databases• & Many More

ShapefileMandatory files

● .shp — shape format; the feature geometry itself● .shx — shape index format; a positional index of the

feature geometry to allow seeking forwards and backwards quickly

● .dbf — attribute format; columnar attributes for each shape, in dBase IV format

Other files

● .prj — projection format; the coordinate system and projection information, a plain text file describing the projection using well-known text format

● .sbn and .sbx — a spatial index of the features● .shp.xml — geospatial metadata in XML format

GeoJSON

{

"type": "Feature",

"properties": {},

"geometry": {

"type": "Point",

"coordinates": [

73.7773346,

18.5108148

]

}

}

Spatial Database

• Supported by usual RDBMS like: Oracle, MS SQL Server, Postgres

• Also supported by Spatialite• Direct Query via SQL:

Select VILLAGE_NAME, CODE from Village where ST_Contains(geom, ST_PointFromText("POINT (73.7773346 18.5108148)"));

Where Do I get Spatial Data From?

• You can collect the data directly on the field, via GPS etc• Or Create it by Digitizing from Satellite Maps

Create It yourself

• You will get Data from different sources, and in different formats, such as:• Tables• Excel Files• PDF• Images

Convert it

• Scrape It • Github: https://github.com/datameet/maps/• Download it from sites like Geocommons

COPY IT
