The basic question that might arise in the mind of a newcomer in the field of GIS would be what is GIS and its basic components. Here in this section we will discuss in detail the definition and the components of GIS.

A Geographical Information System (GIS) integrates hardware, software and the data that is used for capturing, analyzing, managing and displaying the various forms of geographically referenced information.

It helps you to answer questions and solve problems only by looking at the given data. The data is given in a form that is easily read and understood. GIS allows you to view, understand, interpret and visualize the data in some particular ways through which you can derive patterns in the form of maps, globes and charts.

What is GIS ?

In the emerging technology paradigm, GIS has come up as a powerful tool which has the potential to organize the complex spatial environment with tabular relationships. It is one of the most important tools that can be used to handle the day to day work, enabling one to make maps quickly. The maps are high on the information content and descriptive in every manner. The information in the maps can further be analyzed and can be used for decision-making.

Geographical Information System (GIS) enables you to generate two or three-dimensional images of an area, displaying the natural features such as hills and rivers with some artificial features such as roads and power lines. The GIS experts and scientists use the patterns given by GIS as modules and using these modules they make estimation of the measurements, gathering some information that might be used by a layman for any kind of reference.

All that a newcomer needs in the field of GIS is effective training. Geospatial Training Services help him to understand the concepts that are commonly used in making patterns of maps or globes.

The GIS database comprises of sets of information called layers, each of which represents a unique type of geographic data. For example, one particular layer may include the information based on the streets of an area. Another layer may have information on the soil of that area and the third one records various elevations that are observed in the area. The GIS can integrate all these layers and make it one image that shows how the streets, soil and the elevations relate to one another. A GIS database can include as many as 100 layers.

One of the most powerful things about GIS that deserves a special mention is the way one can use the data that is on the servers in the maps without even bothering to download the data. You can access high resolution aerial photographs and use them as backgrounds on the maps without spending hours to download the huge files. Thousands of organizations including businesses, governments, educators, scientists and natural resource groups make use of GIS to solve problems and to improve processes. A job oriented training service is needed for better understanding of GIS and with this maximum number of people can make use of this and understand the theory of GIS.
