In the strictest sense, a GIS is a computer
system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying
geographically referenced information, i.e. data identified according to
their locations. Practitioners also regard the total GIS as including
operating personnel and the data that go into the system.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based
tool for mapping and analyzing things that exist and events that happen on
earth. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query
and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic
analysis benefits offered by maps. These abilities distinguish GIS from
other information systems and make it valuable to a wide range of public and
private enterprises for explaining events, predicting outcomes, and planning
strategies.
