Summary

You now have the background needed to work with common types of geospatial data. You also know the common traits of geospatial datasets that will allow you to evaluate unfamiliar types of data and identify key elements that will drive you towards which tools to use when interacting with this data. In Chapter 3, The Geospatial Technology Landscape, we'll examine the modules and libraries available to work with these datasets. As with all the code in this book, whenever possible, we'll use only pure Python and Python standard libraries.
