2）A data storage and retrieval (/ri‟tri:vəl/)
subsystem that organizes the spatial data in a
manner that allows retrieval, updating, and editing.

Part Ⅰ ——1. What is GIS?
The GIS has four subsystems:
1）A data input subsystem 2）A data storage and retrieval subsystem
3）A data manipulation (/mə,nipju‟leʃən/) and analysis subsystem that performs tasks on the data, aggregates(合并/‟æɡriɡit/) and disaggregates, estimates parameters and constraints (约束条件 /kən‟streint/), and performs modeling functions (函 数). 4）A reporting subsystem that displays all or part of the database in tabular, graphic, or map form.
Part Ⅰ——2. What kinds of functions does a GIS have?
2）Data storage and retrieval subsystem
Points, lines, areas are stored as grid cells or coordinate (/kəu'ɔ:dineit/) pairs and pointers in computer.
This approach allows us to organize the complexity of
the world into a simple representation to help facilitate (/fə‟siliteit/) our understanding of nature relationships.

地信专业英语介绍
Hello,everyone! My name is xx, I come from AnYang, HeNan province. As one of the famous seven ancient capitals in China, AnYang is a beautiful city with many historical monuments. My major is GIS. Now please allow me to introduce some information about my major.My research area is the application of GIS. Geographic Information System, with its excellent spatial data process ability, has attracted a great attention in many aspects. For example, Resource Management, Urban Planning and Management, Emergency Response, Site Selecting Analysis, Distributed Geographic Information Application, and the urban address geo-coding database.During my school time, I learned some knowledge about address geo-coding. Address geo-coding is a kind of geo-coding method based on spatial orientation technique and it provides an information transformation method from described addresses to geographic coordinates, the address or the name of a place, to a location on the earth’s surface.I am also learning how to use Arcgis, the most popular GIS software, to enter and process the spatial data. This software has powerful functions and what I have learned is a tip of the iceberg. So I will keep studying and trying to know well of it.That’s all, thank you!。

1.Where does the word Geomatics come from? GEODESY+GEOINFORMATICS =GEOMATICS or GEO –for earth and –MATICS for mathematical or GEO- for Geoscience and –MATICS for informatics. It has been said that geomatics is many things to many people . The term geomatics emerged first in Canada and as an academic discipline; it has been introduced worldwide in a number of institutes of higher education during the past few years, mostly by renaming what was previously called “geodesy” or “surveying”, and by-adding a number of computer science- and/ or GIS-oriented courses.地质这个词在哪里地质从何而来?大地测量+教育或地理=地球,地球和-双语对照查看数学或地理-双语对照查看地质灾害与信息学。
有人说地球对于许多人来说意味许多东西。
地球这个词作为学术纪律第一次出现在加拿大; 在过去几年中，现已引进大量的在全球高等教育学院,大多数是被重命名以前被称为“大地测量”或“测量”,双语对照查看，许多计算机科学,和/或GIS-导向课程。
2.Data acquisition techniques include field surveying, global positioningsystem (GPS), satellite positioning, and remotely sensed imagery obtained through aerial photography and satellite imagery. It also includes the acquisition of database material scanned from older maps and plans and data collected by related agencies.数据采集技术包括野外调查、全球定位系统(GPS)、卫星定位、遥感图像得到,通过空中摄影和卫星图像。
