Something basic about GIS

What is GIS ? GIS = Geographic Information Systems Three components: Geography – the real world Information – data and information Systems – technologies

A Definition of GIS GIS = Geographic Information Systems Worboys, 1995: A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based information system that enables one to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information.

Introduction to ArcGIS ArcGIS is a software program, used to create, display and analyze geospatial data, developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) of Redlands, California.Environmental Systems Research Institute

ESRI’s ArcGIS Platform Suite of Three Integrated Applications: ArcCatalog ArcMap ArcToolbox

Components of ArcGIS ArcCatalog is used for browsing for maps and spatial data and managing spatial data, viewing and creating metadata. ArcMap is used for visualizing spatial data, performing spatial analysis and creating maps to show the results. ArcToolbox is an interface for accessing the data conversion and analysis function that come with ArcGIS.
