Geographic Data Management and Analysis

Information by State  Print version   Search

Geographical Data Management and Analysis involve the combination of two disciplines:

Geocoding:

The process of assigning geographic coordinates (e.g. latitude-longitude) to street addresses, as well as other points and features. With geographic coordinates, the features can then be mapped and entered into Geographic Information Systems.

GIS:

Analysis that combines relational databases with spatial interpretation and outputs, often in form of maps. A more elaborate definition is that of computer programs for capturing, storing, checking, integrating, analyzing and displaying data about the earth that is spatially referenced.
