Mining Methods

This chapter reviews the data mining methods that are combined with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for carrying out spatial analysis of geographic data. We will first look at data mining functions as applied to such data and then highlight their specificity compared with their application to classical data. We will go on to describe the research that is currently going on in this area, pointing out that there are two approaches: the first comes from learning on spatial databases, while the second is based on spatial statistics. We will conclude by discussing the main differences between these two approaches and the elements they have in common.

In this article, the method of selecting a method of testing geographic information systems is proposed. Nowadays, thanks to advances in information technology new methods of data exchange, positioning technologies, improvements in spatial databases, there has been a significant leap in development of geographic information system. When choosing a testing method, it is recommended to take into account not only the financial component, but also the specific characteristics of the tested software system. A list of questions is developed by which qualitative properties of software systems are formalized. The list of questions is based on the ISO/IEC 25010:2011 model. The relevance of this work follows from the fact that new technologies of software development require new approaches to testing software systems. Properly developed testing technique improves the quality of geographic information systems created. Improving quality increases the competitiveness and demand of software products.

User Review

Geographic information systems (GIS) provide natural resource professionals with unparalleled capabilities for analyzing their spatial databases. However, most natural resource professionals will not become proficient in the use of GIS because this tool has a large amount of technical overhead. The Phase II EPPL Shell macro described in this paper was developed so that field-level forest and wildlife managers within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources could enhance access to and spatially analyze their forest inventory database. The macro was developed through a strategic, interactive process of defining user needs, designing a product, implementation, and product enhancement based on user review. The tool allows simple queries of stand attribute data, simplifies the generation of customized maps of selected stands and stand attributes, outputs tabular reports, and provides access to analysis tools such as buffer commands. The EPPL Shell macro is currently being used by field managers to better resolve forest land management conflicts caused by increasing demands on the forest resource. Key words: geographic information systems, macro, forest inventory, system design
