Geoprocessing
Geoprocessing - Computing with Data

At their core, full-function systems, like ArcGIS, do three things:

  • They store and manage data.
  • They let you visualize data in a variety of ways.
  • They make it easy to compute with data, connecting data to useful functions to create new information.


    • Geoprocessing is how you compute with GIS data. The processes you automate can range from routine GIS data manipulation tasks to sophisticated spatial analyses that help to address important scientific and societal problems.
