Geographic Information Systems

Abstract

It is estimated that more than three quarters of all business data already contains a geographic component, such as an address or location. Current technology allows us most satisfactory ways of depicting, viewing and analyzing the spatial components of such information, both expressed and implied, through a geographic information system (GIS), a medium capable of displaying and manipulating geographical information in much richer forms. This paper will briefly define and describe such systems, list some of their current uses in the business arena and suggest strategies for obtaining geographic data to populate these systems.
