What is GIS? This is probably the most asked question posed to those in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) field and is probably the hardest to answer in a succinct and clear manner. GIS is a technological field that incorporates geographical features with tabular data in order to map, analyze, and assess real-world problems. The key word to this technology is Geography – this means that some portion of the data is spatial. In other words, data that is in some way referenced to locations on the earth. Coupled with this data is usually tabular data known as attribute data. Attribute data can be generally defined as additional information about each of the spatial features. GIS operates on many levels. GIS Versus Geospatial There is an increasing trend to use the term geospatial instead of GIS.

The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographical information science or geospatial information studies to refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of Geoinformatics.[1] What goes beyond a GIS is a spatial data infrastructure, a concept that has no such restrictive boundaries. In a general sense, the term describes any information system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information. GIS is a broad term that can refer to a number of different technologies, processes, and methods. History of development[edit] Computer hardware development spurred by nuclear weapon research led to general-purpose computer "mapping" applications by the early 1960s.[8] In 1964 Howard T.

Un véritable outil collaboratif destiné aussi bien aux groupes, aux entreprises, aux établissements scolaires. Mais c’est quoi Google Apps ? Une page d’accueil centralisée,Une boite mail commune,Un client de messagerie instantanée commun,Un agenda de groupe,Des documents partagés (documents et pages web),Un système de notes,Un traitement de texte et un tableur. Bref, tous les outils que l’on se doit de détenir afin de créer un espace de travail collaboratif et si vous ajouter à cela le Google Code (SVN), vous obtenez une suite très puissante d’outils capables de remplacer toutes les applications comme activeCollab, mantis, porte-documents et assembla en tout genre… Voici un aperçu de mon domaine en cours de validation … J’ai dit domaine?
