Introduction to Popular Vector GIS Data Structures - By Tim Leach
Tim has over 20 years of experience with GIS. He has managed the implementation and exchange of GIS data layers for diverse interests to include governments (city and tribal) and utilities. His presentation provides a contextual overview of popular vector GIS data structures that are encountered, along with commentary that may be of particular interest to CAD data developers and others. He will provide insight to popular ESRI structures to include coverages, shapefiles, and geodatabase datasets along with tips on how to recognize and deal with them. He will provide a list of reference links to existing technical resources that can be useful for those that need to further analyze or research GIS data.
