Preferred term

data conversion  

Definition

  • Data conversion involves transforming data sources into digital GIS formats and organizing them within the GIS database to meet users'requirements for geospatial applications and the decision support products they produce. Data conversion is an important part of the process of building a database for use with a GIS because it not only standardizes the database but is also useful for filling the gaps.
