+supertbone Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) This is probably a stupid question, but I am going to ask it. I recently heard the term geographic encoding, is that the same as geocoding? I assume geocoding is a portmanteau of geographic encoding. Edited November 26, 2007 by supertbone Quote Link to comment

+geoduck.5 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topologically...and_Referencing That would be the TIGER data from the US Census which includes roads, census tracts, etc. But to answer your question, yes I would consider them one in the same (two-may-toe, toe-mah-toe).

+StarBrand Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Geographic encoding these days often refers to embedding coordinates within a picture. Can be done automatically with certain cameras or added later. Think camera with a GPS built in. Geocoding often (not exclusively) refers to the back and forth translation of street addresses with coordinates. Quote Link to comment
