Geographic information is characterized by a spatial component and often an additional temporal component. In the last decade the use of that information has increased due to the expansion of technologies that capture it. In particular, earth, ocean and atmosphere sciences, requires analysis of the information that varies in space and time to make decisions. The spatio-temporal data are managed by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that define formats for storage, transport and display them. The Open Geospatial Consortium is one of the leading organizations define standards for these formats, but there are also other widely used. Know the different formats available, the component elements and environments and situations for which they were created is of great importance when deciding on one or the other for efficiency and optimization of its use in GIS. Therefore, this article gives a characterization of the relevant formats for storage, transport and display of geographic data: vector, raster and data sets, using pre-conceptual schemes that allow identifying the structural and dynamic relations in any domain of knowledge.Downloads
