Seeing that fact, the more intricate a project is the more layers you shall have. | + | The data model is a structure of data composed to represent the reality you want to vectorize.

| - | Those are the information we choose to vectorize. To do that we will need a different layer for each map; meanig two polygonal layers and a line layer. Each color of the polygonal layers represent a different object. Each object can then have individual properties. Those properties are described by the attributes. For exemple a medium hazard (object) can stem from an innondation or a Debris flow event (attributes). | + | Those are the information you choose to vectorize.
