GIS Managing a World of Information and ResourcesA geographic information system is a system for management, analysis, and display of geographic knowledge, which is represented using a series of information sets such as maps and globes, geographic data sets, processing and work flow models, data models, and metadata. Simply put, a Geographical Information System combines and visualises spatial layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding of events at that location. What layers of information you combine depends on your purpose - finding the best location for a new store, analysing environmental damage, viewing similar crimes in a city to detect a pattern, and so on.
