ArcGIS
ArcGIS is a geographic
information system (GIS) for working with maps and geographic information.
It is used for: creating and using maps; compiling geographic data; analyzing
mapped information; sharing and discovering geographic information; using maps
and geographic information in a range of applications; and managing geographic
information in a database.
The system
provides an infrastructure for making maps and geographic information available
throughout an organization, across a community, and openly on the Web.
ArcGIS
includes the following Windows desktop software:
- Arc Reader, which allows one to
view and query maps created with the other ArcGIS products;
- ArcGIS for Desktop, which is
licensed under three functionality levels:[3]
- ArcGIS for Desktop Basic
(formerly known as ArcView), which allows one to view spatial data,
create layered maps, and perform basic spatial analysis;
- ArcGIS for Desktop Standard
(formerly known as Arc Editor), which in addition to the
functionality of ArcView, includes more advanced tools for manipulation
of shapefiles and geodatabases;
- ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced
(formerly known as Arc Info), which includes capabilities for data
manipulation, editing, and analysis.
There are
also server-based ArcGIS products, as well as ArcGIS products for PDAs.
Extensions can be purchased separately to increase the functionality of ArcGIS.
