GIS (Geographic Information System)
• The Map View: A GIS is a set of intelligent maps and other views that show
features and feature relationships on the earth's surface. Maps of the underlying
geographic information can be constructed and used as "windows into the
database" to support queries, analysis, and editing of the information.
• The Model View: A GIS is a set of information transformation tools that derive new
geographic datasets from existing datasets. These geoprocessing functions take
information from existing datasets, apply analytic functions, and write results into
new derived datasets.
Any system that is capable of working with geographic information must, therefore, also be able to:
• Query: Ask questions of feature attributes such as: where is…? What’s the nearest…? What
intersects with…?
• Select: Identify features and their attributes that meet some criteria.
• Buffers: Rings drawn around features at a specified distance from the features.
• Clip: Cuts an input layer to the size and extent of a selected layer.
• 3D: Data can be viewed with ‘height’ in 3-dimensions for powerful visualization.
