2. Exposure Mapping Assistance Workshop - April 2013 - Kingstown St. Vincent and the Grenadines GIS Concepts & Overview

3. Exposure Mapping Assistance Workshop - April 2013 - Kingstown St. Vincent and the Grenadines An integration of five basic components  People:  People: This is the most important component in a GIS. People must develop the procedures and define the tasks of the GIS. People can often overcome shortcomings in other components of the GIS, but the best software and computers in the world cannot compensate for the incompetence of people.  Data:  Data: The availability and accuracy of data can affect the results of any query or analysis.  Hardware:  Hardware: Hardware capabilities affect processing speed, ease of use, and the type of output available.  Software:  Software: This includes not only actual GIS software, but also various database, drawing, statistical, imaging, or other software.  Procedures:  Procedures: Analysis requires well-defined, consistent methods to produce accurate, reproducible results.

14. Exposure Mapping Assistance Workshop - April 2013 - Kingstown St. Vincent and the Grenadines QGIS Overview

15. Exposure Mapping Assistance Workshop - April 2013 - Kingstown St. Vincent and the Grenadines How do I refer to Quantum GIS? QGIS is spelled in all caps. There are various subprojects of the QGIS project, to avoid confusion refer to each by its name: QGIS Library - this is the C++ library that contains the core logic that is used to build the QGIS user interface and other applications. QGIS Application - this is the desktop application that you know and love so much :-). QGIS Mapserver - this is a server-side application based on the QGIS Library that will serve up your.qgs projects using the WMS protocol.

16. Exposure Mapping Assistance Workshop - April 2013 - Kingstown St. Vincent and the Grenadines Quantum GIS is open source Quantum GIS is open source software; this means: The software source code can be freely viewed and modified, The GPL places a restriction that any modifications you make must be made available to the QGIS project, and that you can not create a new version of QGIS under a 'closed source' license.
