Terrain

Jan 15, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

Terrain or relief (also topographical relief) involves the vertical and horizontal dimensions of land surface. The term bathymetry is used to describe underwater relief, while hypsometry studies terrain relative to sea level. The Latin word terra (the root of terrain) means “earth.” In physical geography, terrain is the lay of the land. This is usually expressed in terms of the elevation, slope, and orientation of terrain features. Terrain affects surface water flow and distribution. Over

Syntax (programming languages)

Jan 15, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured statements or expressions in that language. This applies both to programming languages, where the document represents source code, and to markup languages, where the document represents data. The syntax of a language defines its surface form. Text-based computer languages are based on

Subset

“⊃” redirects here. For the logic symbol, see horseshoe (symbol). For other uses, see horseshoe (disambiguation). Euler diagram showing A is a subset of B, A⊆B, and conversely B is a superset of A. In mathematics, set A is a subset of a set B if all elements of A are also elements of B; B is then a superset of A. It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B. The relationship of one set being

String (computer science)

Jan 15, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable. The latter may allow its elements to be mutated and the length changed, or it may be fixed (after creation). A string is generally considered as a data type and is often implemented as an array data structure of bytes (or words) that stores a sequence of elements, typically

Street or road name

Jan 14, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

A street or road name is an identifying name given to a street or road. In toponymic terminology, names of streets and roads are referred to as hodonyms (from Ancient Greek ὁδός / hodós – road, and ὄνομα / ónoma – name). The street name usually forms part of the address (though addresses in some parts of the world, notably most of Japan, make no reference to street names). Buildings are often

States of Germany

Jan 14, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

The Federal Republic of Germany, as a federal state, consists of sixteen partly sovereign federated states (German: Land (state), plural Länder (states); commonly informally Bundesland / federated state, plural Bundesländer / federated states). Since the German nation state was formed from an earlier collection of several states (only some of which still exist), it has a federal constitution, and the constituent states retain a measure of sovereignty. With an emphasis on geographical

Standards organization

Jan 14, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

A standards organization, standards body, standards developing organization (SDO), or standards setting organization (SSO) is an organization whose primary function is developing, coordinating, promulgating, revising, amending, reissuing, interpreting, or otherwise producing technical standards to address the needs of a group of affected adopters. Put another way, such an organization works to create uniformity across producers, consumers, government agencies, and other relevant parties regarding

Standard Geographical Classification code (Canada)

Jan 14, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

The Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) is a system maintained by Statistics Canada for categorizing and enumerating the census geographic units of Canada. Each geographic area receives a unique numeric code ranging from 1 to 10 digits, which extend telescopically to refer to increasingly small areas. This geocode is roughly analogous to the ONS coding system in use in the United Kingdom. Contents 1Regions 2Provinces and Territories 3Census

Spatial database

Jan 14, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

A spatial database is a general-purpose database (usually a relational database) that has been enhanced to include spatial data that represents objects defined in a geometric space, along with tools for querying and analyzing such data. Most spatial databases allow the representation of simple geometric objects such as points, lines and polygons. Some spatial databases handle more complex structures such

Spatial analysis

Jan 14, 2022MrKuchewarEncyclopedia

Spatial analysis or spatial statistics includes any of the formal techniques which studies entities using their topological, geometric, or geographic properties. Spatial analysis includes a variety of techniques, many still in their early development, using different analytic approaches and applied in fields as diverse as astronomy, with its studies of the placement of galaxies in the cosmos, to chip fabrication engineering, with its use of
