maps may be used as evidence in court during litigation
all parties in litigation may have different views on maps and their interpretation ...
spatial information Information having to do with a place on the earth. This can be a map feature such as a property line or information about a map feature such as the name of a property owner.

In spatial information systems, the centroid is a point in a polygon to which attribute information about that specific area is linked.
Cell The basic element of spatial information in a grid data set. Cells are always square. A group of cells form a grid.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are software packages designed to analyze spatial information and produce maps, 3D visualizations, and interactive maps distributed online.
A geographic or spatial information system containing data on land and land use especially that on real estate, vegetation, recreation, wildlife, etc.
This document describes how Esri GIS software products and solutions align with the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) vision for European geospatial information sharing and—more specifically— ...
The Internet has introduced a new dimension in the use of geospatial information by coupling fast and widespread dissemination of geographic data with accessible GIS tools.
A geographic information system is an information management tool that helps us to store, organize and utilize spatial information in a form that will enable everyday tasks to be completed more efficiently.
The rapid growth of the Internet provides highly customized, accessible, and interactive sources of public information and is changing the ways that people capture and manipulate spatial information.
GIS data is any type of information that holds both spatial information and attributes. GIS data is used in this way to store information about large geographic areas.
ArcView was designed for those people who do not regularly use GIS, but need access to spatial information for decision making. The main advantage of using ArcView is the easy to learn user interface.
GIS software packages use a variety of approaches to the management of spatial information, but most model information as points, lines, and areas with associated attributes.
In cooperation with Locata Corporation, the SNAP Laboratory within the School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the SPIN Laboratory at The Ohio State University have assembled a working ...

Data - A collection of facts, concepts or instructions in a formalized manner suitable for communication or processing by human or automatic means. Generally used in the GIS field as a reference to all spatial information.
What is relatively easy for such a closed, disciplined community as military is much more difficult for different sciences and professional branches using earth related spatial information.
In a more generic sense, GIS is a tool that allows users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze the spatial information, edit data, and present the results of all these operations.

This idea for GIS was derived from Management Information Systems. It is based on an inventory notion, i.e., that the primary purpose of the system is to build an inventory of spatial information that can later be queried.
