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.
