Summary
You now have the background needed to work with common types of geospatial data. You also know the common traits of geospatial data sets which will allow you to evaluate unfamiliar types of data and identify key elements as follows:
- Geo-location information
- Subject information
- Spatial indexing
- Metadata
- Basic file structure
In Chapter 3, The Geospatial Technology Landscape, we'll examine the modules and libraries available to work with these data sets. And as with all code in this book, whenever possible, pure Python and standard libraries will be used.
