I want to know that the main methods used in GIS are location and their information (local access method)

There are two ways I have read in some web sites:

Is this method related to what I want ???

Thanks ^ _ ^

There are usually two types of GIS data sources: vector And raster.

with vector; Attribute data can be stored in many ways: - In a Vector file connected with an attribute file (ESRI size with ESRI dbf) - in a spatial database - connected in an application (in MapInfo fie; in an Excel Adding points) based on a common feature sheet)

with raster; You have a numeric value of a pixel.
