Glossary for Geospatial Science

level:� In HyperIndex, any object or file that is displayed in the Display / Spatial Data window is called a level.� A level may originate from a raster, vector, or CAD object.� However, in HyperIndex, the level assumes an identity beyond that of the object or file itself, because the level includes the index areas that have been defined and any links to other objects.� Thus, in addition to being an image, a level lets you access many different kinds of information.� (See also: HyperIndex, index area, link, stack.)
