by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar-4 Geographical Information System and its Applications Abstract The data doesn't make much sense until it is spatially related to other data. Geographic Information System (GIS) is one such system that can put a spatial perspective to the collected data. GIS is a computer-based tool that analyzes, stores, manipulates and visualizes geographic information, usually on a map. Nevertheless, it is not just used for mapping but is also used for decision-making in urban planning, public health, crime pattern recognition, agriculture, and so forth. This seminar will discuss the history of GIS, its components, and the various GIS models. The seminar will brief the software used for analysing the data and the tools involved in mapping. The focus of the seminar will be on the application of these techniques in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, and public health. The seminar will conclude by mentioning the role of libraries in promoting GIS. Speaker Udaya Varadarajan Date- 10.10.2017 Time- 2 p.m. Venue - Room no.- G-21 All are cordially invited.
