Objectives• To be able to explain what the following
GIS analysis functions are:– Transformations– Conflation– Edge Matching– Editing Functions– Query Functions– Overlay Operations– Neighborhood Operations– Connectivity Functions

Transformations• Format Transformations
- sometimes topology must be built
• Geometric Transformations - registration to a common coordinate system (rubber sheeting or warping)
• Between Geometric Projects - i.e. Latitude/Longitude to PLSS

Conflation • procedure of reconciling the positions of
corresponding features in different layers (i.e. if two forests layers are off - conflation fixes)

Edge Matching• adjusts the position features that extend
across map boundaries ("postage-stamping" maps together and resolving the differences in features along their edges...)

Editing Functions• slivers or splinters
• line snapping
• over- or undershoots

Query Functions
• retrieve records in the attribute database according to the conditions specified by the operator

Overlay Operations• arithmetic & logical
overlay operations
• arithmetic - addition, subtraction, division, multiplication
• logical - where a specified set of conditions occur (or doesn't occur) together

Neighborhood Operations• evaluate the characteristics of the area
surrounding a specified location

Connectivity Functions
• use functions that accumulate values over the area being traversed

Conclusion
• GIS analysis functions use the spatial and non-spatial attribute data to answer questions about real-world
• Spatial analysis functions that distinguishes GIS from other information systems
