What is GIS?What is GIS?Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - An integrated collection of computer software and data used to view and manage information about geographic places, analyze spatial relationships, and model spatial processes. A GIS provides a framework for gathering and organizing spatial data and related information so that it can be displayed and analyzed.
GIS is more than just maps, it is:•Data
•Hardware
•Software
•People
•Methods
GIS brings City/County Departments, the private sector and public users together.
Some Common GIS TermsSome Common GIS Terms
Metadata = The data about the dataVector = A coordinate-based data model that represents geographic features as points, lines, and polygons. Raster = A spatial data model that defines space as an array of equally sized cells arranged in rows and columns, and composed of single or multiple bands. Shapefile = A vector data storage format for storing the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features. A shapefile is stored in a set of related files and contains one feature class.Geodatabase = A database or file structure used primarily to store, query, and manipulate spatial data. Geodatabases store geometry, a spatial reference system, attributes, and behavioral rules for data. Map Service - A type of Web service that generates maps.Project- The map file that contains the links to the GIS dataFor More Definitions visit ESRI’S GIS Dictionary @ http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.gisDictionary
