2. Geographic information system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_Information_System

   A geographic information system (GIS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software that store, manage, analyze, edit, output, and visualize geographic data. [1][2] Much of this often happens within a spatial database; however, this is not essential to meet the definition of a GIS. [1] In a broader sense, one may consider such a system ...

3. Computer cartography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cartography

   Computer cartography (also called digital cartography) is the art, science, and technology of making and using maps with a computer. [1][2][3] This technology represents a paradigm shift in how maps are produced, but is still fundamentally a subset of traditional cartography. [3][4] The primary function of this technology is to produce maps ...

   Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis (1965 to 1991) pioneered early cartographic and architectural computer applications that led to integrated geographic information systems (GIS). [1] Some of the Laboratory's influential programs included SYMAP, SYMVU, GRID, CALFORM, and POLYVRT.
