Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
What is GIS? GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a technology that is used to create, manage, analyze, and map all types of data. GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information (what things are like there). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and almost every industry. (ESRI)
