GISP Actual Questions and Correct Answers
Q1
Data exploration
Answer: Data-centered query and analysis
Q2
Dynamic Segmentations
Answer: A data model that allows the use of linearly measured data on a coordinate
system
Q3
Georelational data model
Answer: A vector data model that uses a split system to store geometries and
attributes
Q4
GeoSpatial data
Answer: Data that describes both the locations and characteristics of spatial features
on the earth surface
Q5
Object-based data model
Answer: A data model that uses objects to organize spatial data and stores geometries
and attributes in a single system
Q6
Raster data model
Answer: A data model that uses a grid and cells to represent the spatial variation of a
feature
Q7
Relational Database
Answer: A collection of tables in which tables are connected to one another by keys
, Q8
Topology
Answer: A subfield of mathematics that when applied to GIS, ensures that the spatial
relationships between features are expressed explicitly
Q9
Triangulated irregular network (TIN)
Answer: Composite vector data that approximate the terrain with a set of
nonoverlapping triangles
Q10
Vector data model
Answer: A spatial data model that uses points and their x y coordinates to construct
spatial features of points, lines and polygons
Q11
Azimuthal Projection
Answer: One type of map projection that retains certain accurate directions. Azimuthal
also refers to one type of map projection that uses a plane as the projection surface
Q12
Central lines
Answer: The central parallel and the central meridian. Together, they define the
center or the origin of a map projection
Q13
Clarke 1866
Answer: A ground-measured ellipsoid, which is the basis for the North American
Datum of 1927 (NAD27)
Q14
Conformal projection
Answer: One type of map projection that preserves local shapes
