• Vector – points, lines and polygons
• Ratser – pixels with attributes
• GIS allows us to query and overlay data with
geographic coordinates
• “A map on top of a database”
• Everything happens somewhere
• Historical sources refer to place in many different
ways
• Associating exact location with these is complex
• Georeferencing
• Accuracy versus precision
• Relative versus absolute
e.g. roads, rivers
e.g. places
e.g. countries,
territories etc
Vector GIS

Volunteered Geographical Information (VGI) is considered
a special case of an intermediary discourse: information is
not fixed, it can be extended, altered, or even deleted at
any time. This multi-stage, reflective character has to taken
into consideration in a discourse- analytical approach.
C. Fink, 2011 - Mapping Together : On collaborative implicit cartographies,
their discourses and space construction.
AD 1250 – Matthew Paris (Image source - British Library)
Antonine Wall, c. 1906
E.g. search for Chollerford
