Introduction
Description:
- Provides a translation from traditional digital terrain terminology to SEDRIS.
What to Expect:
- Review of the traditional types of digital terrain data: raster, gridded, vector, and polygonal.
- Where and how each type can be represented within a SEDRIS transmittal -- where to put it if you're a producer, where to look for it if you're a consumer.
- How multiple representations of terrain included in a SEDRIS transmittal can be organized and associated with one another.
Required Background:
- Familiarity with SEDRIS Data Representation Model (DRM) is needed
- Familiarity with some vector data format (e.g., DFAD) is useful
Expected Audience:
- Those new to digital terrain data, as well as those who are experienced with one or more of the traditional types of digital terrain data.
