| What
is GIS? |
| A geographic information
system (GIS) is a comprehensive database tied to location, with an
integrated set of tools for querying, analyzing, and displaying information.
GISs are rapidly gaining recognition as a means of dealing with information
stored on maps, with many applications in resource and environmental
management, business and marketing, urban and regional planning, map
production and research. GIS analysis is one of the hottest career
opportunities today. GIS analysts are in demand across the nation,
and for that matter, the world, as the use of GIS in government agencies,
private businesses, and nonprofit organizations grows dramatically.
In recent years, forward-looking leaders are recognizing the benefit
of spatial analysis for a variety of uses and, as a result, are incorporating
GIS as a key element in their IS or information technology. |
