Q & A

What is a Geographic Information System (SIGIG)?

SIGIG is a system designed to integrate data with reference to spatial coordinates and graphical coordinates, supporting the acquisition, management, manipulation, analysis, modeling, and presentation of spatial data for complex problem-solving.

What are the components of SIGIG?

SIGIG consists of hardware, software, and procedures. Hardware includes devices like PCs, laptops, CD rooms, digitizers, scanners, printers, and plotters. Software is used for data processing, with examples like Quantum GIS. Procedures involve steps for data processing.

What is the role of hardware in SIGIG?

Hardware in SIGIG serves as the physical devices needed for data storage, digitization, printing, and location determination, such as computers, CD rooms for data storage, digitizers for converting analog data to vector data, scanners for raster data, printers for small outputs, and plotters for large prints, as well as GPS for location determination.

Can you explain the software aspect of SIGIG?

SIGIG software processes data. It can be either paid or free. An example of free software is Quantum GIS, which is used for managing and analyzing spatial data.

Who are the professionals involved in SIGIG?

SIGIG involves professionals such as operators, analysts, programmers, administrators, and others who are all part of the SIGIG ecosystem.

What are the types of data used in SIGIG?

SIGIG uses two types of data: spatial and non-spatial. Spatial data has positional values and often includes location on Earth's surface, while non-spatial data does not have positional values.

How is spatial data categorized in SIGIG?

Spatial data in SIGIG is categorized into vector and raster data. Vector data is stored in coordinate arrangements, forming points, lines, or polygons. Raster data consists of grid cells or pixels.

What are the methods or procedures used in SIGIG for data processing?

Methods in SIGIG include procedures such as summation, classification, rotation, overlay, buffering, and geometric correction to process data into information.

What is the role of the input subsystem in SIGIG?

The input subsystem in SIGIG is responsible for collecting spatial and attribute data, which can come from sources like analog maps, aerial photos, satellite images, field measurements, and GPS data.

What happens in the data management subsystem of SIGIG?

The data management subsystem organizes spatial and attribute data into a database, making it easy to retrieve, update, and edit.

How is new map creation described in the SIGIG process?

New map creation in SIGIG involves the data manipulation and analysis subsystem, where new maps are formed through manual or computerized processes after data has been processed.

What is the purpose of the output subsystem in SIGIG?

The output subsystem in SIGIG is responsible for displaying or producing all or part of the database in soft copy or hard copy forms, such as tables, graphs, new maps, etc.

How does the overlay process work in SIGIG?

The overlay process in SIGIG involves combining or superimposing maps to obtain new graphical data with a single mapping unit, which can reveal new insights or information.
