A geographic information system[1] (GIS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software that store, manage, analyze, edit, output, and visualize geographic data.[2][3] Much of this often happens within a spatial database, however, this is not essential to meet the definition of a GIS.[2] In a broader sense, one may consider such a system also to include human users and support staff, procedures and workflows, the body of knowledge of relevant concepts and methods, and institutional organizations.
