Data model (GIS)

A geographic data model, geospatial geographical measurements, or simply data from modules in the context of geographic information systems (GIS), is a mathematical and digital structure for representing phenomena over the Earth. Generally, such data modules represent various aspects of these phenomena by means of statistical data measurement, including…
