Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system for assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying data. This data contains physical locations (geographic coordinates) of features and information about those features (attribute data). GIS is not only used for data storage, maintenance and retrieval, but it is also used as an Analysis tool to answer questions that are geographic in nature. The following is an example of a question that could be posed to a GIS system.
"Give me all of the parcels in a 100' buffer around Georges Creek that are not vacant"
