Management could include importing, exporting, converting, and packaging data in file types such as
- drawing (DGN/DWG)
- geodatabase (GDB)
- keyhole markup language (KML)
- extensible markup language (XML)
- vector files (e.g., SHP)
- spreadsheet files (e.g., XLS, CSV)
- raster formats (e.g., IMG, TIFF).
Process/Skill Questions:
- How are files imported?
- Why is there a need to import files?
- What alternative resources are available to import files?
- What data formats can the mapping program support?
- What is the difference between an XLS file and a CSV file, and how they are used?
- What are examples of vector files, and when are they used?
