The shapefile format is a geospatial vector data format for geographic information system (GIS) software.It is developed and regulated by Esri as a mostly open specification for data interoperability among Esri and other GIS software products. [1]
Shapefile – open, hybrid vector data format using SHP, SHX and DBF files (by ESRI) Spatial Data File – high-performance geodatabase format, native to MapGuide (by Autodesk ) TIGER – Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
An open format that has become one of the most common formats for data sharing. IMG – ERDAS IMAGINE image file format; JPEG2000 – Open-source raster format. A compressed format, allows both lossy and lossless compression. MrSID – Multi-Resolution Seamless Image Database (by Lizardtech). A compressed wavelet format, allows both lossy and ...
QGIS supports shapefiles, personal geodatabases, dxf, MapInfo, PostGIS, and other industry-standard formats. [5] Web services, including Web Map Service and Web Feature Service, are also supported to allow use of data from external sources. [6] QGIS integrates with other open-source GIS packages, including PostGIS, GRASS GIS, SAGA GIS, and ...
One "shapefile" usually include four different files : .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj. First three files must all be present in order to use the data. Each shapefile can hold only one geometry type. The projection information contained in the .prj file is critical in order to understand the data contained in the .shp file correctly.
Kentucky Open Data Portal: The Kentucky Open Data Portal is a site for exploring, accessing and downloading Kentucky-specific GIS data and discovering mapping apps. You can analyze and combine datasets using maps, as well as develop new web and mobile applications. [13] KyFromAbove
System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA GIS) is a geographic information system (GIS) computer program, used to edit spatial data.It is free and open-source software, developed originally by a small team at the Department of Physical Geography, University of Göttingen, Germany, and is now being maintained and extended by an international developer community.
GML or "Geography Markup Language" is an XML (text-based) format for GIS data. It is a way to describe spatial information in a human readable form, and is an accepted "open standard" for GIS data. OpenJUMP can currently read and write GML data, and the team hopes to develop a number of utilities that will improve OpenJUMP's ability to work ...
