inconsistency

The introduction mentions 3 ways, Vector, Raster and TIN. But the rest of the article only discuss the first two. Should the third one get at least a section header as a place holder? Kowloonese (talk) 23:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Data model (ArcGIS)

This stub of dubious notability may be better of being merged here. Thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:32, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 13:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page expansion

There was not much content here, so I added quite a bit; I think it is up to a basic (B/C) level now, but it could use more enhancements:

Rationalize with GIS file formats. There is probably a rationale for keeping the theoretical models page separate from the file formats page, but there is too much overlap and they can be integrated better.
More extensions? Uncertainty, multiscale GIS, multimedia, etc. What is fully integrated into GIS, not experimental/theoretical?
More figures, such as an ER or URL diagram in the modeling section.
A lot of the pages that currently link to Vector graphics or Raster graphics could link here.
Q: Should the Vector and Raster models have their own GIS-specific pages, separate from Vector graphics or Raster graphics?

Feel free to improve it further! Bplewe (talk) 17:46, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
