“Geospatial data, GIS data or geodata has explicit geographic positioning information included within it, such as a road network from a GIS, or a geo-referenced satellite image.” (1) Geospatial term specifies two things – ‘Geo’ and ‘Spatial’. Geographical factors, is combined with spatial management, to create a geospatial data. These are almost three dimensional, and have much better information factor than a normal map.

A geospatial data is developed to guide people in the field of environment, defence, life sciences, transportation etc. To develop a GIS data, it is necessary to go through various stages. Some of them include-

- Gather appropriate data, and consolidate them together - Finally, putting up the whole thing, and executing it.

When a department tries to develop a geospatial data, it puts in this information which is necessary for their own research. For example – a geologist might not be putting in traffic signal s and tunnels, rather, he would be putting in the ecological and geological factors present in the area for which the is developing the data.

Each and every geospatial data is specific. If it is developed by the government for general purposes like houses and facilities provided in a particular area, it will contain information about them, if it is developed by marine biologists, it will contain a different set of information like ocean area, sea weed presence, etc. So, GIS gives a complete picture of an area, with respect to what we are looking for.

There are two types of geospatial data- these are used depending upon the audience it is catering for, and how well one is comfortable of studying the data presented. A raster data uses Grids in the form of rows and columns and a vector data uses points, lines or polygons to represent the same data.

Geospatial analysis is even used in intelligence and defence now. With the advent of more modern technologies like i-phones and smart phones, each and every service provider develops their own GIS data for their customers. Again, these data are mostly catering to the transportation part and not on any other specific geographic or science data. Geospatial data is a very common feature nowadays. But, to understand them, one needs to know what sort of data they have in hand, since all geospatial data are not the same at all.

Geospatial data is a data which identifies the geographical location of features, and boundaries of earth – both manmade and natural.

As a traveller, we have been using maps to guide us to a certain unknown place we are travelling to. Maps have been extensively created, with minute details like road names, and arrows marking directions.

But, as every one of us will accept, it is not so easy to understand a map given to you. A thorough checking of the map, and from which direction it needs to be done, is needed to start studying a map.

So, what happens, when you have a problem with directions, and you need direction to be read immediately from the map? When some of us may take it up as a challenge, others may not. This would result in loss of time, as well as anxiety because of travelling through a wrong road.

This is where geospatial data comes in.

Look at the data below, published by the Afghanistan information management services. This is a geospatial data, which has information about many things like hydrology, land cover, road, and cultural features, etc.

Geospatial data, is therefore, a completely developed three dimensional form of a map, but with all features which makes it complete. It may not contain longitudes or latitudes, but all the geographically identical features.

The geospatial data was developed earlier, to solve problems related to ecology, environment, geology and other life sciences. The basic use of the geospatial data was to collect geospatial data of areas on which an environmental or life sciences research were done.

Once the reliability of this geospatial data was identified, the data were developed for other much advanced operations like defence, intelligence, medicine, public safety, etc. Now, geospatial data are even used in traffic control or network analysis. With more modern gadgets available to us, the geospatial data (commonly known as GIS) helps in network navigations too.

Every department, depending upon its needs, creates their own geospatial data. Though the basic features may be the same for all these data’s, depending upon their field of interest, the additional data present like – a water body, an underground tunnel, a green area, etc. may be different in each of these geospatial data. When a geospatial data is made, it is kept in the records for a time it is needed. If it is marked permanent, it goes to the national archives. (3)

According to feminist researchers, the intimate violence is widely committed by men against women. In the event of family violence, researches show that the rates of violence are evenly distributed among men and women relatively. Sexual violence is omitted by feminist researchers; they ignore the gendered relationships inequality, reasons, intents, and effects of any violence. The fact that women are on average in terms of strength, they are weak compared to men physically. For example, men punched stronger than women do and caused more injuries. However, there are instances that it is hard to identify who first initiated the ...

Introduction

Youths living in North America and other areas of the world that are considered relatively liberated grow up with considerably more gender equality now more than in the past. This is seen through many aspects in the society like opportunities for education, status of the women in the society and the socialization of gender roles. These youths take up courses in institutions of higher learning that were predominantly thought to be a preserve of the men. This is because the society has evolved to perceive women as an equal gender, and one deservedly worthy of equal opportunities as ...

The husband of the family is a policeman, in charge of the anti-corruption and anti-drug unit of the local police, and the mother is a stay-at-home housewife responsible for the care of their young daughter.

Introduction

Individuals read stories and books since they are interested in what is contained in those books and stories. Stories make us love or hate characters, provide us details, and build up to the point where we get the climax.

If I were to pick one out of the two Canadian love poems written by Michael Ondaatje, I would probably choose the poem ‘To A Sad Daughter’. The reason behind my decision is I think the mentioned poem shows a deeper form of love than the other choice. That is not to say that ‘The Cinnamon Peeler’ is lesser in value however. It is just that while ‘The Cinnamon Peeler’ speaks of a man’s love and devotion to his wife, ‘To A Sad Daughter’ is about unconditional love of a father to his daughter. In many culture, that ...

They attribute the enormous debate regarding differences between men and women to people’s confusion of the terms sex and gender which they claim are totally different words. The authors discuss various concepts related to sex ...

The poem of Emily Bronte entitled “Love and Friendship”, the poet compared love to a wild rose-briar, and friendship as a holly tree. Although the poem tells the readers that love is more beautiful physically because it was compared to a flower that is beautiful to look at, compared to friendship, represented by holly tree. It symbolizes that friendship will last longer, compared to love because just like a wild rose, the flower will wither and die, until a new flower blossoms again. However, friendship is like a holly tree which is by nature sturdy, strong ...

Abstract

An Oscar winning “12 Years a Slave” is a movie not only worth everyone’s attention, to my mind it is truly necessary for viewing, because this kind of movie is not only of high quality, it is also very educational. Telling about a free black man who happened to become a slave, the film presents a sad story about injustice, cruelty, stiff upper lip and will to survive. In this paper I am going to examine race discrimination ...

While the Bhagavad ...

Grief is a common part of everyone’s life. Everyone at some point in his or her life will deal with something like the death of a loved one. Many will be spared this early on in life, but some will experience this as young children.

Introduction

In writing this book, De Waal was too modest. The title of the book is a gross understatement of the sophistication and richness of the literature in the book. Any scholar would be hard-pressed in finding another t-the-point, fair-minded, graceful yet compact exploration of the tormented, fascinating and the utterly complex region that Asia represents. The literature in the book is diverse in that his arguments do not just confine to the Russian great-power games but also explores the fault lines and many cross-cutting intricacies in the region.

In the start of the book, De Waal explores the ancient ...

Virginia Woolf's novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is considered by most to be a baffling read.

Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown is full of symbolism, imagery and allegory. Imagery helps the reader to visually experience a scene. The description of the forest or the woods by Hawthorne is an instance of Imagery. Woods are vividly described in this short story to be nightmarish and confusing.

Abstract: A Poetic Translation of the Willie Lynch Letter

One day, a self-proclaimed brilliant man arrived at a podium to address a crowd of slavers. Together, they filled the air with enough heart-felt hatred to make the Lord want to start the whole world over from scratch. His name was Willie Lynch. As his surname would suggest, his message was one that suggested both physical and mental brutality as the magic ingredients to creating a loyal, fearful and well-controlled slave.

This letter has inserted itself into American history whether or not the authors of modern day textbooks would like to admit it. Consequently, this brings about a new ...
