Programming Question

INSTRUCTIONS
Part of the responsibility of a GIS professional is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various spatial data structures. This week your readings are focused on spatial storage and indexing in spatial database applications. Next week we will add temporal data consideration for spatial databases in Week 10. This discussion intends to cover the two weeks’ subjects.

Objectives of this Assignment
• Explain examples of spatial indexes built using the spatial databases we have been using in this course
• Understand how geodatabases do and do not make use of R–DBMSs spatial extensions
• Describe how versioning, one manifestation of time, is accomplished in geodatabases
• Discuss how temporal data can be stored in GIS

WHAT TO HAND IN
Deliver your answers to the questions below as per the instructions below into the Week 9 Discussion #4 submission link in Module 4: Spatial Data Optimization and Spatial Access.

1. (2 pts) Answer any two questions in 1–2 short paragraphs (100 words max per paragraph, 200 words max) and include one example with each of your answers, and include a reference (not included in word max), with a URL(s) as appropriate. Your examples and references should be different from any answers posted before yours for the same question, and different from the assigned readings. Besides the Week 9 and Week 10 readings, you might need to further study on your own to find answers, primarily in Esri Help.

  • a. Provide one example case study briefly describing how and why spatial indexes were built in a SQL Server database, OR in an Esri ArcGIS Pro geodatabase.
  • b. In MS SQL Server, compare and contrast the geometry data type and the geography data type. Which of these types is predominantly utilized by Esri ArcGIS Pro? Why? Provide one example.
  • c. Give an example of short– and long–transactions that might be ongoing concurrently on a spatial database in a land–management agency such as a county planning department. Why would long transactions interfere with short transactions and vice versa?
  • d. The Esri geodatabase approach to data versioning supports multi–user editing and long– transactions, which works for vector data; can raster data be versioned? If not, what is the reason for this limitation? What is the workaround for rasters? Provide one example.
  • e. Time stamps, or temporal data, can be stored in either separate fields or in separate tables in a spatial database. In what situation is a table with separate fields more appropriate for storing temporal data? In what situation should separate tables Not be recommended for storing temporal data in a database? Provide one example.

2. (1 pt) Comment at least 2 of your classmates’ posts. For example, you can post an additional link to a reference, answer a question they might have about the topic, post a comment on their interests based on your own experiences, etc. Please be sure to reply to classmates who have not yet received feedback, if possible. (100 words max per comment).

How do the sources talk to each other? How do they agree or disagree or qualify each other’s discussions? Reflect on the gaps that seem to exist between sources and identify the outlying sources that no longer work in their developing projects in writing.

Annotated Bibliography

Students will now gather a minimum of 5-7 sources that they believe will be useful in writing their own argument essay. They will focus on annotating each source in the proper way pertaining to which format they choose: MLA or APA.

  • Each source will be properly cited.
  • Each source will have a 150-word annotation including but not limited to why the source was chosen, its usefulness in your own argument, and whether or not it’s in support of your argument or in disagreement.
  • There should 5-7 sources cited and annotated for this assignment.
  • Size 12 Times New Roman Font Double Spaced

Post-Annotated Bibliography

It’s important to stress that this research often includes a lot of excesses—simply choosing the first hit is often not the right match for a research project. Students should write about the choices they made in selecting their sources and reflect on how these sources contribute to their developing projects.

Students should identify connections between sources. Students can address these questions: How do the sources talk to each other? How do they agree or disagree or qualify each other’s discussions? Reflect on the gaps that seem to exist between sources and identify the outlying sources that no longer work in their developing projects in writing.

  • This assignment should be at minimum 1 page.

English Question

For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography of nine scholarly sources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters) for your research paper. An annotated bibliography is a scholarly genre that provides summaries and analyses of resources for other scholars conducting research on the same topic. It is formatted like a bibliography that appears at the end of a research essay, but it also includes short (3-5 sentence) summaries and analyses of each source. Oxford Bibliographies(https://oxfordbibliographies.com) provides good examples of the genre (choose “Subject List” from the menu at the top of the page).

Before listing the sources, your paper should begin with one paragraph that explains what research the annotated bibliography covers. Your audience is other researchers who are beginning research on the same or a closely related topic. The bibliography should follow the most recent version of MLA, APA, or Chicago format, whichever is most appropriate for your discipline.
