Due to the driving forces of the Internet and network communication technology, the paradigm of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is shifting [16, 19]. Moreover, with the advances in computer technology and GIS science, distributed GIS become practical and widely acceptable. Traditional GIS plays an extremely valuable role in GIS applications by providing a wide variety of tools to handle ge...

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system used to store and manipulate geographic information. In this study, GIS is used to obtain information about "open green space of urban areas" (RTHKP). Office of street lighting and Cemetery Palembang is one agency that regulates the green open spaces but not using media such as websites that support the community to get information ...

Child Health Improvement through Computer Automation (CHICA) is a computer decision support system (CDSS) that interfaces with existing electronic medical record systems (EMRS) and delivers "just-in-time" patient-relevant guidelines to physicians during the clinical encounter and accurately captures structured data from all who interact with the system. "Delivering Geospatial Intelligence to He...

DEFINITION: A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer application designed to perform a wide range of operations on geographic information. Geographic information is defined as information about locations on or near the surface of the Earth, and may be organized in a variety of ways. Thus a GIS includes functions to input, store, visualize, export, and analyze such information. Commer...

The need for global access and decentralized management of geographic information is pushing the GIS community to establish an open GIS architecture and provide distributed geographic information services. From an operational perspective, the role of client/server components underlie specification of task-oriented programming, and the modularization of GIS software. Exchange of geographic infor...

A GIS (Geographic Information System), is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographically referenced data. In other words, GIS is the merging of statistical analysis, database technology and cartography that can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework. But despite all these advantages, geographic information system...
