Geographic Data Modeling

Geographic data modeling is the process of representing real-world locations and features—such as roads, lakes, or buildings—in a digital format. It involves creating structured data systems that capture spatial relationships and attributes, allowing for accurate analysis and visualization of geographic information. Think of it as designing a detailed map using data rather than paper, enabling tools like GPS, urban planning, and environmental monitoring to interpret and manage space effectively. This modeling ensures that geographic information is organized logically, making it accessible and useful for various applications.
