GC8-5 - Theory of error propagation
  • Describe stochastic error models
  • Exemplify stochastic error models used in GIScience
CF3-2 - Time
  • Differentiate between mathematical and phenomenological theories of the nature of time
  • Recognize the role that time plays in “static” GISystems
  • Compare and contrast models of a given spatial process using continuous and discrete perspectives of time
  • Select the temporal elements of geographic phenomena that need to be represented in particular GIS applications
  • Exemplify different temporal frames of reference: linear and cyclical, absolute and relative
CF5-4 - Topological relationships
  • Define various terms used to describe topological relationships, such as disjoint, overlap, within, and intersect
  • List the possible topological relationships between entities in space (e.g., 9-intersection) and time
  • Use methods that analyze topological relationships
  • Recognize the contributions of topology (the branch of mathematics) to the study of geographic relationships
  • Describe geographic phenomena in terms of their topological relationships in space and time to other phenomena
GD12-5 - Transport protocols
  • Explain the relevance of transport protocols to GIS&T
  • Describe the characteristics of the Open Digital Resource Description Framework (RDF) protocol
  • Describe the characteristics of the Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP)
  • Describe the characteristics of the Web Ontology Language (OWL)
  • Describe the characteristics of the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD)
  • Describe the characteristics of the Web Feature Services (WFS) protocols
  • Describe the characteristics of the Web Mapping Services (WMS) protocols
  • Describe the characteristics of the Web Catalog Services (WCS) protocols
  • Create a service that delivers geospatial data over the Internet using a standard transport protocol
  • Create an application that consumes Web services using standards transport protocols
  • Describe the characteristics of the Z39.50 protocol
  • Describe the characteristics of the Open Digital Libraries (ODL) protocol
  • Describe the characteristics of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
GC1-2 - Trends
  • Describe GIS&T topics that may be addressed by new geocomputation techniques
  • Identify topics and techniques that may be addressed as computer capabilities increase
GC3-5 - Typical CA applications
  • Exemplify CA simulations of urban growth
  • Exemplify CA simulations of real estate development
  • Exemplify CA simulations of wild fire
CV3-4 - Typography for cartography and visualization
  • Name the authorities used to confirm the spelling of geographic names for a specific mapping project
  • Compare and contrast the strengths and limitations of methods for automatic label placement
  • Compare and contrast the relative merits of having map labels placed dynamically versus having them saved as annotation data
  • Explain how text properties can be used as visual variables to graphically represent the type and attributes of geographic features
  • Explain how to label features having indeterminate boundaries (e.g., canyons, oceans)
  • Position labels on a map to name point, line, and area features
  • Apply the appropriate technology to place name labels on a map using a geographic names database
  • Set type font, size, style, and color for labels on a map by applying basic typography design principles
  • Create a set of mapping problems that can be used to illustrate point, line, and area label conventions for placing text on maps
  • Solve a labeling problem for a dense collection of features on a map using minimal leader lines
  • Describe the role of labels in assisting readers in understanding feature locations (e.g., label to the right of point, label follows line indicating its position, area label assists understanding extent of feature and feature type)
