    Shapefile<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

    		.SHP,\n\n.DBF,\n\n.SHX<\/td>\nThe shapefile is BY FAR the most common geospatial file type you\u2019ll encounter. All commercial and open source accept shapefile as a GIS format. It\u2019s so ubiquitous that it\u2019s become the industry standard.\n\nBut you\u2019ll need a complete set of three files that are mandatory to make up a shapefile. The three required files are:\n
      \n \t
    • SHP is the feature geometry.<\/li>\n \t
    • SHX is the shape index position.<\/li>\n \t
    • DBF is the attribute data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYou can optionally include these files but are not completely necessary.\n
        \n \t
      • PRJ is the projection system metadata.<\/li>\n \t
      • XML is the associated metadata.<\/li>\n \t
      • SBN is the spatial index for optimizing queries.<\/li>\n \t
      • SBX optimizes loading times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Geographic JavaScript Object Notation (GeoJSON)<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

    		.GEOJSON\n\n.JSON<\/td>\nThe GeoJSON format is mostly for web-based mapping. GeoJSON stores coordinates as text in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) form. This includes vector points, lines and polygons as well as tabular information.\n\nGeoJSON store objects within curly braces {} and in general have less markup overhead (compared to GML). GeoJSON has straightforward syntax that you can modify in any text editor.\n\nWebmaps browsers understand JavaScript so by default GeoJSON is a common web format. But JavaScript only understands binary objects. Fortunately, JavaScript can convert JSON to binary.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Google Keyhole Markup Language (KML\/KMZ)<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

    		.KML\n\n.KMZ<\/td>\nKML stands for Keyhole Markup Language. This GIS format is XML-based and is primarily used for Google Earth. KML was developed by Keyhole Inc which was later acquired by Google.\n\nKMZ (KML-Zipped) replaced KML as being the default Google Earth geospatial format because it is a compressed version of the file. KML\/KMZ became an international standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium in 2008.\n\nThe longitude, latitude components (decimal degrees) are as defined by the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84). The vertical component (altitude) is measured in meters from the WGS84 EGM96 Geoid vertical datum.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Text file<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

    		.TXT\n\n.CSV<\/td>\nA comma-separated values (CSV) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. A CSV file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nContent in this section was adapted from \u201c<\/i>The Ultimate List of GIS Formats and Geospatial File Extensions<\/i><\/a>\u201d (GIS Geography).

    Students graduate, staff change positions, and faculty move to other institutions. Because your ArcGIS Online account is tied to your College username and password, you will no longer have access to the Grinnell College organization after your credentials expire.<\/p>

    We encourage users to be proactive in thinking about how they want to be able to access ArcGIS Online items after they leave the institution.<\/p>

    In situations where content will remain in ArcGIS Online but you do not need ongoing access to items, we are able to reassign those items to an active user in the College\u2019s ArcGIS Online organization.<\/p>

    In situations where content does not need to remain in ArcGIS Online, the previous sub-sections under \u201cArchiving and Preservation\u201d outline the possible avenues for depositing and storing your project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
