An industry self-regulatory body that develops and enforces standards for online advertising.

Digital elevation model (DEM)

A digital elevation model is a digital representation of the topographic surface of a region. DEMs are often used to generate digital terrain models, which are used for a variety of purposes, including land-use planning, resource management, and disaster response.

Digital Out of Home (DOOH)

Digital out of home (DOOH) is a form of marketing that uses digital displays in public places, such as bus stops or train stations, to deliver advertising messages to passersby.

Digital surface model (DSM)

A digital surface model is a digital representation of the topographic surface of a region, including features such as buildings and vegetation. DSM data is often used to generate digital terrain models, which are used for a variety of purposes, including land-use planning, resource management, and disaster response.

Digital terrain model (DTM)

A digital terrain model is a digital representation of the topographic surface of a region, excluding features such as buildings and vegetation. DTMs are often used for a variety of purposes, including land-use planning, resource management, and disaster response.
