George and Mohamed:
I am interested in getting decennt resolution data for an area in the middle east. Petra, in Jordan actually. Do either of you know a good source that you can refer me to?

Hello Mohamed:
Assalamo a'laikom, from Riyadh.
In your email you ended off with "You can imagine your need as a target, and the geospatial data is the highway, and your car is the GIS tool, perhaps the driver also is vital." I would say that the word "perhaps" is an unfortunate choice. In GIS, the "driver" is the most important part of the whole thing. The driver sets the target (Project), asseses the target needs, gets the data to reach the target, and uses the GIS tool to complete the whole process. Therefore, in my opinion, the "driver" is not a "perhaps" but the key to the whole endeavour - be it small or large.
Just my 2 halals worth!
George.

Dear Nathan,
Thanks for your posting, and your confidence in this professional list,
This is the right place to ask such a question.
Let me declare something to you:
To achieve what you need (perform spatial/topological/tabular query)
can be done easily, in condition that you have the tools and capabilities to
do so :
You need GIS tool (which is not the major need),
and the most important thing that you have your geospatial
model and data capable of performing such query.
You can imagine your need as a target, and the geospatial data is the
highway,
and your car is the GIS tool, perhaps the driver also is vital.
Kind Regards
Mohamed Eleiche
