Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

GIS: A Formal Definition


A system for capturing, storing, checking, Integrating, manipulating, analyzing
and displaying data which are spatially referenced to the earth

A powerful set of tools for collecting, storing, retrieving at will, transforming and
displaying spatial data from the real world

GIS = Maps + Database

Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Elements of GIS
A system of hardware, software, people, data, organization and institutional
arrangements for collecting , storing, analyzing and disseminating information about
the areas of the earth

Functionality
Web & Mobile GIS

Potential of GIS is not fully realized in terms of data accessibility, integrity and
collaboration among various departments

The Internet (make it open for accessing)

Smart phones

Why mapping on internet?

Why mapping on mobiles?


Web GIS

What is Web GIS?

Web GIS is a type of distributed information system. The simplest form of web GIS
should have at least a server and the client (a web browser, a desktop application
or a mobile application)
Web GIS

Web GIS functions

Web mapping (Visualization)


Common and important function of web GIS
Query
Ask for information about features displayed on map
Point based queries on map data
Collecting/Editing geospatial information
Allow down-to-top information flow
Crowd sourcing up-to-date information
Dissemination of geospatial information
Wide distribution of information
Seamless: No need to know servers & to copy huge data sets
Analysis
Provide customized analytical functions
Web GIS

Advantages of web GIS over desktop GIS

Global accessibility
Web removes the constraint of distance
A large number of users
Desktop GIS supports one user at a time, while web GIS supports dozens
and hundreds of users simultaneously
Better cross-platform capability
Low cost as averages by number of users
investment on server side implementation only
Makes spatial data accessible to non-technical people
User friendly websites
Unified update
Simplifies software and application code versioning and upgrades
Diverse applications
Mobile GIS

What is Mobile GIS?

Mobile GIS is the expansion of a geographic information system (GIS) from offices
to any place around the globe, It makes your GIS accessible at every location

Mobile GIS integrating various ICTs


Mobile GIS

Mobile GIS functions

Mobile mapping (Visualization)

Query

Real-time tracking and location identification using GPS

Real-time data collection from field

Limited map processing

Augmented Reality (AR) using camera, GPS, compass and GIS data
Mobile GIS

Advantages of mobile GIS

Mobile solutions that are easy to use and inexpensive can eliminate technology
boundaries, allowing greater access and input from field personnel

It enables users to obtain, edit & analyse geographical information in the field
and helps in faster decision making

The use of mobile GIS helps in improving the quality and speed of data collection
and stimulates the real-time collaboration between field and office staff
