About the Test

This test includes questions on Data Management linked with GIS, spatial referencing and positioning which includes datums, coordinate systems, etc.

A GIS is a computer-based system that provides data capabilities to handle geo-referenced data. It is mainly used for capturing, storing, querying, exploring, analyzing, and displaying geospatial data. This computer-based system provides four sets of capabilities: data capture and preparation, data management, data manipulation, and analysis and data presentation. A GIS combines functional GIS software and hardware components, and users work on software and infrastructure support. GIS can be used in various fields such as Agriculture, Urban Planning, Disaster Management, Mapping, Navigation, Marketing, Geology, etc.
