- Summary:
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are penetrating a wide range of disciplines and as a result there is a growing group of professionals and students who need to master the field quickly. As in any specialized field, the jargon and acronyms are largely incomprehensible to the uninitiated, and many words that have a familiar interpretation in every day language take on a specific meaning in the GIS context. Such an evolving lexicon reflects the dynamism but also the youth of this field. The International GIS Dictionary is the first dedicated dictionary available for the GIS community. It includes GIS terms from all over the world and from related disciplines such as remote sensing which are becoming increasingly important to people using GIS.
