By: Ryan Frank | 2010-03-27 | Software A geographic information system, or GIS, is used to gather, arrange and analyze information as it correlates with its geographical location. GIS mapping is thus the process of creating digital maps by layering onto them information from land surveys, satellite images, aerial pictures, statistical studies and any other source. read more
By: Carrol Rogers | 2012-04-02 | College A GIS provides a powerful analytical tool that can be used to create and link spatial and descriptive data for problem solving, spatial modeling, and to present the results in tables or maps. The following sections discuss each of the components of a GIS including data, hardware, and personnel. read more
By: Leah Avery | 2010-09-27 | Data Recovery Standard GIS Formats are the structures that are utilized for storing data in a GIS file. Spatial data is a predominant type of data that is stored in standard GIS Formats. Spatial Data refers to the location and characteristics or attributes of a geographic feature that is normally stored as topology and specific coordinates. Specific geographic features can then be viewed as illustrative and descriptive information. read more

By: Stuart Green | 2011-07-16 | Software The study of land masses and geographical spaces has existed long before maps have been created. Our ancestors have studied and surveyed land that's why they knew when to leave a particular area and where to go. read more
By: William Doglus | 2011-02-08 | Business LiDAR is an acronym for Light Detection And Ranging. It can functionally be defined as the integration of three technologies into one system which is capable of acquiring data to generate digital elevation models. The three technologies that are combined to generate digital elevation models are lasers, inertial navigation systems and, the global positioning system. read more

By: robertwilliams | 2010-10-04 | Technology GIS apps for environment related issues are growing by the day. GIS facilitates efficient resource management within an organization and outside it as well. One of the end-uses of this can thus be: enabling the public to report environmental issues to the powers that be. How? It's just that the data sets are linked together by GIS with the help of common data like latitude-longitude or addresses. read more
