Study on geographic data format relevant to nuclear control

More than half of the information relevant to the nuclear control is considered to be geospatially related. Therefore the need for building a geospatial information system (GIS) in the field of the nuclear control is increased. High resolution commercial satellite images with positional information covering wide areas such as nuclear sites are regarded as one of the fundamental information for building a relevant GIS. This paper discusses the geographic file formats, the Shapefile and the geodatabase in regard to the Additional Protocol
