-A **Geographic Information System** (**GIS**) is an information system, which is based on data referenced by geographic coordinates (Curran, 1984)((Curran, P. (1984). Geographic Information Systems.

Retrieved from  [[http://www.jstor.org/stable/20002046|http://www.jstor.org/stable/20002046]])). {{ :wiki:gis.png?nolink&600 |}} It is a system consisting of hardware, software, data, people, organizations and institutional arrangements for capturing, collecting, storing, manipulating, analyzing and disseminating information about areas of the earth (Dueker & Kjerne, 1989)((Dueker, K. J., & Kjerne, D. (1989):  Multipurpose cadastre: Terms and definitions. American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)). Analyses of geodata or spatio-temporal phenomena can be presented and visualized (Goodchild, 2009)((Goodchild, M. F. (2009): Geographic Information System.

 Why do we use a WebGIS in the AlpES project?
-Since it is the easiest and cheapest way to publish spatial project results to a broad audience. The AlpES WebGIS makes the [[:wiki:ecosystemservices|ecosystem services]] (ES) [[:wiki:indicators|indicators]] accessible to the stakeholders. A large number of people can use it at the same time. There is no need of having proprietary GIS software (Painho et al., 2001)
