22. Maps and data – using a GIS A GIS (Geographic Information System) is a computer program which enables the creation, editing and viewing of spatial data Spatial data relates to real world objects – places, roads, rivers, trees… A GIS is spatially aware – it works with real world coordinates, distances and areas … and it creates maps!

23. MapInfo - a GIS and digital mapping tool MapInfo is a professional and fully functional mapping program It is site-licensed by the University It can be used by all Departments and University members It can be installed on any desktop or laptop PC MapInfo workstations are available in the Bodleian Map Room (New Bodleian Reading Room)

24. Mapping spatial data using a GIS A GIS is a database management program – just like Access Data is stored as records in tables – just like Access A GIS can interpret spatial referencing and display data as a map

25. Adding your own data Source: http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/index.html
