You have been assigned team lead on the development of a new GIS database for
a large county. From the options given below, what is the best approach to this
project? (Choose the best response)
A. You and your team should study the county and develop the database for them
based on your expert knowledge of GIS
B. You and your team should interview end-users at the county to learn how this
enterprise functions and then
design a database to satisfy their particular needs
C. You and your team should acquire a copy of the county's geospatial data and
convert it into the Local
Government Information Model (LGIM). Delivery of this end-product will setup
the county for their long-term
needs
Pg. 3
, D. Both a and c are equally correct. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ - B. You and your

Object-relational databases have become the cornerstone of modern GIS. These
databases can be best described in which of the following ways: (Choose the best
response)
A. Each database contains one table and one GIS layer
B. The database contains one attribute table for each GIS layer. The attribute
table may contain numerous fields (attributes)
C. The database will contain many GIS layers, each with an attribute table. The
attribute table may contain
numerous fields (attributes)
D. The database will contain many GIS layers, each with an associated attribute
table. In addition, other tables may exist that further describe specific
characteristics of the GIS layer and are associated with the GIS layer through a
relationship. Each table may contain numerous fields (attributes). - CORRECT
ANSWER ✔✔ - D. The database will contain many GIS layers, each with an
associated attribute table. In addition, other tables may exist that further describe
specific characteristics of the GIS layer and are associated with the GIS layer
through a relationship. Each table may contain numerous fields (attributes).
One common task faced by the GIS professional is the assurance of data quality
and correctness. An example
of this is ensuring all County polygons fall within the polygon of their respective
State. This can be accomplished using which of the following workflows? (Choose
the best response)
A. Clip the Counties polygon layer with the State polygon layer. Then check if the
counties layer changed. If so, it is understood that the Counties layer was larger
than the State layer, thus requiring further action.
