*An ESRI Grid is a proprietary format for a raster dataset that defines space as an array of equally sized cells arranged in rows and columns.  Each cell contains an attribute value and location coordinates. Unlike a vector structure, which stores coordinates explicitly, raster coordinates are contained in the ordering of the matrix. Groups of cells that share the same value represent the same type of geographic feature.

**A Shapefile is a published, but proprietary, data format from the Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI).

***Zip is a common type of file compression.
