What is GIS?

A Geographic Information System (GIS) extends the capability of maps by attaching data to individual mapping elements allowing users to manipulate, analyze, and report on data using both spatial and database queries.

Purdue EUC GIS manages data connections for utility and basemap data for the purpose of supporting infrastructure inventory and utilities maintenance.

A special project such as parking space management extends the database to account for all parking spaces and allows reports to be generated based on either the graphic data and/or the non-graphic 'attribute' data.
