    \n
  • GIS is composed of five interacting parts: hardware, software, data, procedures, and people<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Spatial data is information that represents real-world locations and the shapes of features at those locations and the relationships between them<\/span><\/li>\n
  • GIS, like mentioned in the Mitchell book, is a visual, quantitative, and analytic tool<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Geoprocessing is the manipulation of spatial data<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Open data allows anyone to get authoritative data and information. ArcGIS Hub is a way the public can freely access maps and data<\/span><\/li>\n
  • I find the concept of open data fascinating as one of the goals of it the book mentions is the ability to get right to problem-solving. We have so much data, especially in research papers, but I feel that it is hard to take action<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s good to keep in mind that ArcGIS Desktop is a suite and not just confined to ArcMap and that ArcGIS Pro is part of the ArcGIS Desktop suite<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • I couldn\u2019t find the outline toggle in step 12 of Configure the map symbology so I skipped it; I do not believe it made a difference<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Despite this book being pretty new, the names for a bunch of things are somewhat different than the book records them to be<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • ArcPro and ArcOnline communicate with each other much better than ArcMap and ArcOnline as ArcPro allows you to sign in<\/span><\/li>\n
      • ArcPro projects can contain multiple maps, geodatabases, folder connections, layer files, task lists, models, toolboxes, and more<\/span><\/li>\n
      • The world symbol next to the \u201cExplore\u201d tool is the full extent button<\/span><\/li>\n
      • The feature layer ribbon is activated any time a layer in the contents sidebar is selected<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Extrusion is the process of stretching flat 2D features vertically so they appear 3D<\/span><\/li>\n
      • To package a map there must be a description in the map\u2019s metadata<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • (Modify map contents 5) PM concentrations are highest in Africa<\/span><\/li>\n

        • (Examine feature attributes 4) Shanghai, China has the largest population<\/span><\/li>\n

          Notes and Comments:<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Definition queries make certain features or areas invisible but they do not get rid of them<\/span><\/li>\n
          • To subset from a data set you can use a definition query, the clip feature, or the select and export feature<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Joining the join table to the attribute table requires that the attribute type is the same (e.g. text joins to text)<\/span><\/li>\n
          • You cannot have spaces or more than 10 characters in the field heading in the attribute table<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Spatial join allows you to join data based on location. You combine the target and the join layer into a new output layer<\/span><\/li>\n
          • I can follow along easy enough but if you told me to do this on my own I would be clueless<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Questions and Screenshots:<\/b><\/p>\n

              \n
            • (Add data to project 5 part 1) The field name that indicates which state the county is in is STATE_NAME<\/span><\/li>\n
            • (Add data to project 5 part 2) The number of Wayne county residents between ages 22-29 is 10,575<\/span><\/li>\n
            • (Join data tables 3) Six years of data are represented<\/span><\/li>\n
            • (Overlay additional data 1) No, I do not see a clear correlation between income and 2010 obesity rates. While many counties with high obesity rates have lower incomes a moderate number of counties with moderate to high incomes also have high obesity rates<\/span><\/li>\n
            • (Examine infographics 3) 18.7% of households had an income of less than $15,000 per year<\/span><\/li>\n
            • (Relate tables 7) There are 4 food deserts in Knox County<\/span><\/li>\n

                \n
              • Shapefiles store the data for one set of features<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Geodatabases have the ability to store multiple datasets<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Geodatabases are an ideal model for sharing data as shapefiles are much larger<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Geodatabases have the ability to create an attribute domain which minimizes the potential for data entry mistakes by setting a range to which attributes in each field must be limited to<\/span><\/li>\n
              • In the geoprocessing pane built-in tools are denoted with the hammer icon and script tools are denoted with the scroll icon<\/span><\/li>\n
              • ArcGIS applies a projected coordinate system of the first layer to all added subsequent layers<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Snapping allows you to connect features, without impossibly precise sketching<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
