GIS, Definition• GIS is a system of hardware and software used for storage,

retrieval, mapping, and analysis of geographic data, which is geographically referenced to a map projection in an earth coordinate system.

• GIS is a special-purpose digital database in which a common spatial coordinate system is the primary means of reference.
