520 8 Learn the basics of Geographic Information Systems by
solving real-world problems with powerful open source
toolsAbout This Book* This easy-to-follow guide allows you
to manage and analyze geographic data with ease using open
source tools* Publish your geographical data online* Learn
the basics of geoinformatics in a practical way by solving
problemsWho This Book Is ForThe book is for IT
professionals who have little or no knowledge of GIS. It's
also useful for those who are new to the GIS field who
don't want to spend a lot of money buying licenses of
commercial tools and training. What You Will Learn*
Collect GIS data for your needs* Store the data in a
PostGIS database* Exploit the data using the power of the
GIS queries* Analyze the data with basic and more advanced
GIS tools* Publish your data and share it with others*
Build a web map with your published dataIn DetailThe most
commonly used GIS tools automate tasks that were
historically done manually--compiling new maps by
overlaying one on top of the other or physically cutting
maps into pieces representing specific study areas,
changing their projection, and getting meaningful results
from the various layers by applying mathematical functions
and operations. This book is an easy-to-follow guide to
use the most matured open source GIS tools for these
tasks. We'll start by setting up the environment for the
tools we use in the book. Then you will learn how to work
with QGIS in order to generate useful spatial data. You
will get to know the basics of queries, data management,
and geoprocessing. After that, you will start to practice
your knowledge on real-world examples. We will solve
various types of geospatial analyses with various methods.
We will start with basic GIS problems by imitating the
work of an enthusiastic real estate agent, and continue
with more advanced, but typical tasks by solving a
decision problem. Finally, you will find out how to
publish your data (and results) on the web. We will
publish our data with QGIS Server and GeoServer, and
create a basic web map with the API of the lightweight
Leaflet web mapping library. Style and approachThe book
guides you step by step through each of the core concepts
of the GIS toolkit, building an overall picture of its
capabilities. This guide approaches the topic
systematically, allowing you to build upon what you
learned in previous chapters. By the end of this book,
you'll have an understanding of the aspects of building a
GIS system and will be able to take that knowledge with
you to whatever project calls for it.
