A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system of computer
software, hardware, data and personnel, which helps
manipulate, analyze and present information that is tied to
spatial locations. GIS opens up new possibilities for understanding and analyzing
data by providing a visual tool to illustrate the spatial nature of your data.
A GIS is capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and
displaying geographically referenced information; that is,
data identified according to location. Practitioners also
define a GIS to include the procedures, operating personnel,
and spatial data that go into the system.
