What is a GIS?

A GIS is a computer system capable of holding and using data describing places on the surface of the earth. A GIS contains both coordinate (where something is) and attibute (what something is) information, essentially combining map information with database information. GIS is a powerful tool because it allows for the analysis of the relationship between geographic objects and quick, "what if" scenario building.

A simple example of GIS in action is to imagine a map of New York State with the county boundaries shown. A GIS could be created that associates census data for each county with the county shapes. We could then use the GIS to perform an analysis and create a resulting map. In this example, we have used the GIS to analyze the counties based upon the number of farms in each county, producing a new map to illustrate the results.
