Spatial Information Retrieval
Spatial Data Mining + Knowledge Discovery
• Used for mining data in spatial databases with huge amounts of data
• Spatial data is defined as location-related data in an object
• A spatial database stores spatial objects and spatial relationships between these objects
• Important application - GIS
What is GIS
• Geographic Information System• A computer-based system for storing, analyzing, and reporting map and spatial database, providing environmental, social economic and geographic information.
• A computer-assisted information system to collect, store, manipulate and display spatial within the context of an organization, with the purpose of functioning as a decision support system
What is GIS
Layers or Themes:
•Objects that contain spatial information are represented as several different layers where each layer holds data about a particular kind of feature.
•Each feature is linked to a position on the graphical image on a map and a record in an attribute table.
GIS Components
• Hardware (computer system)• Software• Data (spatial database)• Developers and users• Analysis and modeling
Spatial Databases in GIS
• Data capture • Data storage/retrieval • Data display

Data Display
A Example of Information analysis in GIS
• Stating the problem • Breaking down the problem into a series of objectives
• Assigning value of suitability to the objectives
• Finding suitable areas
Web GIS
• Web-GIS Web GIS is a geographic information system that GIS data and functionality are made available over the Internet.
• How it works: On the server side: GIS database and applications
On the client side: a user interface within a web browser.
Web GIS
• Web GIS Advantages Unlimited access Low cost Easily to use
• Web GIS Disadvantages Download time Affected by network traffic Limited functions
