外文文献GIS software and data structures(bilingual)1、Arc/InfoArc/Info is a long-lived full functions GIS package that has been ported to the microcomputer, the workstation, and the mainframe. Arc/Info is used to automate, manipulate, analyze, and display geographic data and incorporates hundreds of sophisticated tools for map automation, data conversion, database management, map overlay and spatial analysis, interactive display and query, graphic editing, and address geocoding. The software includes a relational database interface for integration with commercial database management systems and macro language for developing customized applications called AML (ARC Macro Language). Arc/Info is a generic nonapplication specific approach to geographic information systems, allowing the software to address virtually any geographic application. The software runs both on higher and microcomputers and is available on several Unix workstations and for Windows NT.2、ArcViewArcView is available for Windows, Macintosh, and a variety of Unix platforms. It is a desktop system for storing, modifying, querying, analyzing, and displaying information about geographic space. Support for spatial and tabular queries, “hot links” to other desktop applications and data types, business graphic functions such as charting, bar and pie charts, and map symbolization, desing, and layout capabilities are supported. Gocoding and address matching are also possible. ArcView is also a product of ESRI, who makes Arc/Info. There is compatibility between the two systems, with ArcView being more oriented toward map display than database management. When the ArcView version II software was introduced, the original ArcView software was placed into the public domain and is available over the Internet.3、Atlas GISAtlasGIS is available for both DOS and as version 3.0 for Windows. The original vendor has recently sold the software to Clartas, which in turn was purchased in 1996 by ESRI. This GIS lets you display, ed
