Geospatial Data Integration

Geospatial-data integration is a process that involves collecting data from different sources at different collection modes and unifying them in a unique database to provide a unified environment for processing, modeling, and visualization. There are certain considerations to be able to integrate different data sources in a unique database. These include the following: spatial reference of the data, projection of the data, and format of the data. Geospatial-data integration can be either loose integration or tight integration. Data-integration techniques are evolving day by day and are now used in many application domains including life science and engineering.
