What is a GIS? Geographic information systems (GIS) are computer systems that produce connected visualizations of geospatial data—that is, data spatially referenced to Earth. Beyond creating visualizations, GIS is capable of capturing, storing, analyzing and managing geospatial data. With GIS, users...
Geospatial data comes in many forms and formats, and its structure is more complicated than tabular or even nongeographic geometric data. It is, in fact, a subset of spatial data, which is simply data that indicates where things are within a given coordinate system. Mileposts on a highway,...
Geospatial datais information that describes objects, events or other features with a location on or near the surface of the earth. Geospatial data typically combines location information (usually coordinates on the earth) and attribute information (the characteristics of the object, event or phenomena...

What is GIS? GIS and Esri Esri builds ArcGIS, the world’s most powerful GIS software. Since 1969, Esri has been a pioneer in the field, continuously evolving and supporting organizations around the world as they use GIS capabilities to solve complex problems....
Enables quick, accurate, and comprehensive perform spatial positioning and dynamic analysis of processes for complex geographic systems When talked about GIS, it is necessary to mention modern geographic intelligence. It refers to the technical general term of geospatial visualization, analysis, decision-...
location-related information to the applications is a manual effort that is labor-intensive, time- consuming, error-prone, and most often not scalable for large infrastructure projects. Due to the lack of required integrations, applications can’t use the full value of geospatial information. ...
Why are notions like semantics and ontologies suddenly getting so much attention, within and outside geospatial information communities? The main reason lies in the componentization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into services, which are supposed to interoperate within and across these ...
