The contents of the Data model (ArcGIS) page were merged into Data model (GIS) on 5 October 2019. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

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]

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]

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?
