-A **Geographic Information System** (**GIS**) is an information system, which is based on [[:wiki:spatial data|data]] referenced by geographic coordinates (Curran, 1984)((Curran, P. (1984). Geographic Information Systems. Area, 16((Dueker, K. J., & Kjerne, D. (1989): Multipurpose cadastre: Terms and definitions. American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)), 153-158. 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)<sup>((2)))</sup> . Analyses of geodata or spatio-temporal phenomena can be presented and visualized (Goodchild, 2009)((Goodchild, M. F. (2009): Geographic Information System. In: Encyclopedia of Database Systems, pp. 1231-1236. Springer US. DOI: 10.1007/978-0-387-39940-9_178.

 A **WebGIS** provides access to a GIS requiring only a web browser. It is an Internet based Geographic Information System with reduced GIS functionality (Bartoschek, 2009) ((Bartoschek, T. (2009): WebGIS für die Schule – ein Überblick. Retrieved from  [[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236340662_WebGIS_fur_die_Schule_-_ein_Uberblick|https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236340662_WebGIS_fur_die_Schule_-_ein_Uberblick]])) . The best known example of a WebGIS is probably Google Maps.
