Geographic Information Systems


Geographic Information Systems is the most rapidly growing application of databases.

Almost every company has some databases, which include all the data necessary for the functioning of that company. The main advantage of GIS orientated databases is their connection to the existing World coordinates – each object in the database is described as its X or Y (or geographic) coordinates. This type of data organization allows estimates and analyses to be conducted in the existing space.

Different software is being used in for GIS: ESRI (ArcView, BusinessMAP, ArcCAD), Intergraph (GeoMedia), Bentley (Microstation GeoGraphics), MapInfo, Avenza (MAPublisher), etc. Most of them can be used together with the traditional database software (Access, Oracle etc.) and all the data is compatible.

Jana Seta Map Publishers offers several data bases, which could be used as basic data for developing GIS.
