What is GIS?
Definition - The U.S. Geological Survey
In the strictest sense, a GIS is a computer system
capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and
displaying geographically referenced information, i.e.
data identified according to their locations.
Practitioners also regard the total GIS as including
operating personnel and the data that go into the
system.
What is GIS?
Definition – Environmental Science Research Institute
A geographic information system (GIS) is a
computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing
things that exist and events that happen on earth.
GIS technology integrates common database
operations such as query and statistical analysis with
the unique visualization and geographic analysis
benefits offered by maps.
