This lecture covers the concept of spatial entities and the decomposition of geographic space into elementary objects, either regular or irregular, associated with vector or raster worlds. It explores how the vector world allows for a richer thematic content and discusses the characterization of spatial information in geographic information systems based on its origin and measurement scale, which can be nominal, ordinal, or cardinal.
