Thank you for visiting the Geospatial Data Analysis Web site. The opening of the Web site has paralleled the start of the third millennium, which is in the midst of one of the greatest revolutions in human history, the Digital
Revolution.
It is truly an exciting time. Word processors and desktop publishing software allow us not only to forget about our typewriters but also to publish a book right on
our desks. Spreadsheet software, on the other hand, makes handling of our business affairs much easier and allows us to make incredible 3-D graphs and charts of our
numbers. At the same time, database management software makes the handling
of the terabytes of data of the Information Age much easier. Computer-aided design
and drafting software, drawing software, image processing software and communication software, GPS receivers and software are among the many kinds of software that have become available for general use at the same time.
Now imagine a software that incorporates the features of all these software into one software that allows us to map, visualize, and analyze our geospatial data. This desktop mapping and analysis software is called geographical information systems software. If this age is called the Information Age, the overwhelming majority of this information is geospatial, and the software that has the awesome power to mine this information for providing solutions is GIS.
The goal of this globally unique, online Geospatial Data Analysis Web site is to provide learning tools for individuals, businesses, government, research firms and other organizations to create and mine geospatial data to formulate customized solutions.
Toward this goal the site has designed several online courses and seminars that are described throughout the Web site and the course catalog. In addition, the site provides information about how to create, manages, publish, and maintain Web sites and geo-websites for individuals, small and large businesses, governmental agencies, educational institutions, medical, dental, and health professionals, social and physical scientists, and environmental and nonprofit organizations.
Thanks again for visiting the site. Please take a tour of the site and contact us if we can be of any service to you and your organization.
