Human Resources GIS technology is of limited value without the people who manage the system and develop plans for applying it to real-world problems. GIS users range from technical specialists who design and maintain the system to those who use it to help them perform their everyday work. Methods A successful GIS operates according to a well-designed plan and business rules, which are the models and operating practices unique to each organization. Five Processes Performed by GIS Input Data has to be converted from paper maps into digital format in a process called digitizing. This can be done either manually or with a scanning technology.
Some data is available in digital format and can be obtained from data suppliers.
GIS uses relational design, in which data is stored as a collection of tables. Common fields link these tables. An overlay, or spatial join, can integrate data on soils, slope, and land ownership with tax assessment. Different data layers are integrated together. Visualization Maps are very efficient at storing and communicating geographic information.
