The following are the examples of ‘geographic fields’

Air temperature Barometric pressure Elevation All of the above

Which of the following is true about ‘Discrete fields’

Discrete fields divide the study space in mutually exclusive, bounded parts, with all locations in one part having the same field value ‘Land classification’ is an example of discrete fields Discrete fields make use of ‘bounded’ features All of the above

Topological data model Temporal data model Topological discrete model Temporal discrete model

Which of the following is true about ‘Nominal Data Values’

They are values that provide a name or identifier so that we can discriminate between different values True computations cannot be done with these values When the values assigned are sorted according to some set of non-overlapping categories, they are called ‘categorical data’ All of the above

A ‘data model’ is a language that allows the definition of
