1. Introduction to GIS in ArcGIS Desktop 10

2. A computer-based system that stores geographically referenced data layers (features) and links it with non-graphic data tables (attributes) allowing for a wide range of information processing, including manipulation, analysis, and modeling. A GIS also allows for map display and production.

13. Vector Uses points, lines, and polygons to represent real features on the earth’s surface, such as light poles, roads, and buildings. Ideal for discrete themes with definite boundaries. Raster Is composed of a continuous grid of cells that represent a value for a portion of the earth’s surface, such as elevation, and rainfall. Ideal for continuous themes of change.
