Students need to know geographic data and processing methods used in geography. Furthermore, very good computer literacy and self-sufficency is expected. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 25 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/25, only registered: 0/25 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to explain importance of data modeling in geography, cartography, and geoinformatics. The course will focus especially on reading geographic data models, but also on its design. At the end of the course students should be able to understand UML class diagrams, which are crucial for orientation in INSPIRE and ISO 191xx specifications.
