Sammendrag
With the release of the open-source GIS GRASS 5.0 in early 1999,
opportunities are presented for integration with the open-sourcestatistical data
analysis programming environment. After reviewing these two software systems,
an example is given of the advantages yielded by the complementing of GIS
techniques with modern statistical analysis. The example shows how GTOPO30
digital elevation models, with a resolution of 30 seconds, may be subjected to
geomorphometric analysis; the data are taken from the Kosovo region. In these
examples, is run interactively within the GRASS 5.0 environment, transfering
data by writing and reading text files; the operating system is Linux.
