What Is GIS?

GIS is an abbreviation for geographic information

systems,

computer software that maps and analyzes geographic, i.e.,

spatial data.

Maps Linked to Data

Maps that tell a story

• Maps help in finding patterns – especially patterns and trends that aren’t easily portrayed in other forms

• Maps allow us to visualize data from many different sources

• GIS creates spatial relationships between otherwise unrelated data

• Because everything you manage is somewhere …

Spatial Data

• Locational– Address– Coordinates

• Latitude-Longitude• State Plane• Other, e.g., grid system

– Co-located with feature having known location

From Spatial Data to GIS

Data becomes relevant to the GIS when its spatial component becomes part of its definition …

that is …

When where it is, is important to what it does.

What makes up GIS data?

• Three primary data types– Vector (Maps)– Raster (Images)– Tabular (Non-graphic)


• Vector data includes– Digital planimetric features

• ROWs• Hydrography• Railroads

– Contours– CAD drawings– Cadastral (parcel) data


• Raster data includes:– Aerial photography– Scanned maps– Scanned documents and images


• Tabular data includes:– Non-graphic databases– Spreadsheets– Other applications

GIS – Data Chicken or Egg?

• Data provider– GIS system is primary local source

• Aerial photos• Cadastral & planimetric data

• Data receiver– Other systems are primary sources

• Tabular (feature attribute) data• CAD drawings

GIS – Data Chicken or Egg?

• Data integrator– QA/QC function

• Data scrub• Validation/verification• Completeness

– Spatial integration• Spatial operators• Analysis• Reporting

Redefining the Spatial Data Model

• Use of spatial data

• Location of spatial data

• Versions of spatial data

• Management of spatial data

• Use of spatial data:– Department

• Location of spatial data:– Stovepipe/Silo

• Versions of spatial data:– Redundant

• Management of spatial data:– Ownership

How does GIS assist GASB 34 compliance?

• Central repository for spatial data– Access– Credibility– Stewardship

• Function-specific GUIs (interfaces)– Data entry/maintenance– Validation– Query– Reporting

• Flexible platform for inventory/asset management applications

Carmi’s Law

• Technology is always ahead of the organization’s ability to use it effectively.

Here’s Why …

Info. SystemsManagement

Line Operations

The Bermuda Triangle

GIS Program Management to Support GASB 34

• Two-tier structure is useful– Policy Committee– Technical Committee

• Executive-level buy-in• Maintains link between projects

and funding sources


• Policy Committee– Membership

• GIS manager• Board representatives• Department heads• IS director

– Quarterly meetings


• Technical Committee– Membership

• GIS Manager• GIS staff• Departmental liaisons• IS representative• Outside consultant (if appropriate)

– Monthly meetings

• Sets agenda for Policy Committee


• Role of Information Systems– Best ally or worst enemy– Define areas of responsibility– Ownership vs. stewardship

• Hardware and network resources• Data• Non-GIS operations support systems

– Obtain executive-level concurrence

Things to avoid

• Data collection – the arrow paradox

• Techno-superiority/techno-secrecy• Disrespecting your audience• Don’t be a casualty of:

– Inter-departmental crossfire– Unrealistic project goals

Background radiation

• Departmental issues – Inter-departmental competition– Historical rivalry/enmity– Prestige– Community recognition– Resources– Show me the money!

Background radiation

• Intra-departmental issues– Intransigent “Old Guard”– Not invented here– The Peter Principle– Parkinson’s Law– Employee rivalries– Personal conflicts

Why do GIS?

¢ Cost savings from operational efficiencies Promote data sharing and reduce data

redundancy Enhanced capabilities & new applications Enhanced communication Facilitate better decision-making
