Talk Summary:
A GIS (geographical information system) comprises a set of applications for working with geographic data. This session will briefly introduce three Windows-based desktop applications in ArcView 9.1, the most widely used GIS produced by ESRI. Using these applications and their interfaces in unison (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox), one can perform simple to advanced GIS tasks including mapping, geographic analysis, data management, visualization, and geoprocessing. We will also discuss how organizations and individuals are authoring, sharing, managing, and publishing geographic data and knowledge.
