Geoinformation is an abbreviation of '''geographic information'''. Geographic information is created by manipulating Geographic (or spatial) data (generally known by the abbreviation '''geodata''') in a computerized system. Systems can include Computer s and networks, standards and protocols for data use and exchange between users within a range of different applications. Typical applications are Land Registration , Hydrology , Cadastral , Land Evaluation , Planning or Environmental Observation . Geodata comes in many different forms, such as Map s or images taken from the air or from space, i.e., Remote Sensing data. Geodata may be stored in a Database , which may possibly have special extensions for storing, handling, and manipulating spatial data. Geoinformation is the useful output, produced by analyzing data with a kind of computer program called a " Geographic Information System ", or GIS. The environment in which a GIS operates (machines, people, networks) is called a " Spatial Information System ", and is designed and created to respond to the strategic Spatial Information needs of people or organizations.
