Purpose of geocoding

When solving different applied tasks using GIS rather often it becomes necessary to locate on the map features built on the basis of data specified as a table. In the simplest case such a table can contain coordinates of some points in which it is required to locate features. In more complex cases apart from the source table other data available in GIS can be used such as coordinates of existing features and table data about features.

The procedure of automated creation of map features on the basis of attributive data stored in some table is called geocoding.

When performing geocoding at least two GDB components participate in the operation in ObjectLand:
