Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description given matches with the definition of a Geographic Information System (GIS), which is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. It involves both spatial data (coordinates of networks of lines like roads, rivers, streets) and non-spatial data (reporting zones like zip codes, cities, counties, states) and uses specialized techniques for storing and analyzing this information. Group Support System, Executive Information System, and Electronic Meeting System are not designed for managing and analyzing spatial data.
