Overview of GISOverview of GIS
7As of February 2006, Geotechnologies is listed by the U.S. Department of Labor as one of the three most important emerging and evolving fields," along with Biotechnologyand Nanotechnology
Geotechnologies have turned computer mapping into a powerful decision- making tool!
8 Global Positioning Systems (GPS)Global Positioning Systems (GPS) a system of eartha system of earth--orbiting satellites which can orbiting satellites which can
provide precise (100 meter to subprovide precise (100 meter to sub--cm.) location cm.) location on the earthon the earths surface (in lat/long coordinates or s surface (in lat/long coordinates or equiv.)equiv.)
Remote Sensing (RS)Remote Sensing (RS) use of satellites or aircraft to capture use of satellites or aircraft to capture
information about the earthinformation about the earths surfaces surface Geographic Information Systems (GIS)Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at a minimum, comprises a capability for input, at a minimum, comprises a capability for input,
storage, manipulation and output of geographic storage, manipulation and output of geographic informationinformation
GPS and RS are sources of input data for a GPS and RS are sources of input data for a GIS.GIS.

Defining GISDefining GIS
Different definitions of a GIS have evolved Different definitions of a GIS have evolved in different areas and disciplines in different areas and disciplines
All GIS definitions recognize that spatial All GIS definitions recognize that spatial data are unique because they are linked to data are unique because they are linked to maps (Space matters!)maps (Space matters!)
A GIS at least consists of a database, map A GIS at least consists of a database, map information, and a computerinformation, and a computer--based link based link between them between them

GIS is a special class of information GIS is a special class of information systems that keeps track not only of systems that keeps track not only of events, activities, and things, but also of events, activities, and things, but also of where these events, activities, and things where these events, activities, and things happen or existhappen or exist
