The course aims to provide students with knowledge of the types of different spatial databases. Students will also be able to design a spatial database using FOSS GIS, populate the spatial tables and perform basic spatial analysis. Other areas to be covered include ESRI geo-database types and supported elements, Working with ESRI geo-database subtypes, domains and relationship rules, ESRI geo-database Annotation: Creating, editing, and managing annotation features, ESRI geo-database Topology rules, management and editing and Utility Networks and analysis.

Theory and practice relating to advanced geospatial analysis, including

·         Raster data structures and algorithms for raster information management, extraction and analysis

·         Vector data structure and algorithms for vector information management and analysis

·         Raster and vector classification measurement and retrieval functions

·         Raster and vector connectivity functions

·         Raster and vector neighbourhood functions- Geometric, visibility, hydrological, network, environmental and cost/distance analysis, Triangulated irregular networks, digital elevation models and digital terrain models

·         Raster and vector overlay functions
