GIS

Geographic Information Systems​​

 

 

* Variety of mapping functions integrated into nearly all industries

 * Geography Matters - connects all cultures and societies

 * Increases communication and collaboration opportunities

Key Functionality

 * Answer questions, test predictions, examine relationships

 * Create, edit, ensure quality of geographic data

 * Produce professional quality maps

* Manage, store, retrieve, and analyze data more efficiently

   

Geographic Data

 

Reflects traditional data found on a map

Spatial data

describes the absolute and relative

location of geographic features

Attribute data

describes quantitative and/or qualitative

characteristics of the spatial features,

often to as tabular data

Geographic Data

Geographic Data

 

Information Layering

Storage and overlays -

   *  layering of interactions

       exposing spatial correlations

Maps reveal relationships between seemingly unrelated things or events
