The MAPSET should be used to hold thematically or organisationally related
sets of maps for a particular LOCATION.
Eg, for LOCATION Texas you might want a MAPSET NatParc for all maps to do
with national parcs in Texas, or a MAPSET Chris for Chris' research project.

Hello,
        I was trying to get some clarification on the database structures of
Grass :slight_smile:

I know that they are set as follows:

GISDBASE - the top level of the database
        LOCATIONS - independent databases within GISDBASE
                MAPSET - under locations, provides more detail.

As an example, does this sound OK

(Country) GISDBASE - United States
(State)LOCATIONS - Texas, California, New York, etc.
(City) MAPSET - San Francisco, Dallas, New York, Houston, etc.

Or should it be organized differently?

Would appreciate some help in this matter.

Thanks

Casey
