ArcGIS
About ArcGIS: is a complete system for authoring, serving, and using geographic information. It is an integrated collection of GIS software products for building and deploying a complete GIS wherever it is needed – on desktops, servers, or or custom applications; over the Web; or in the field.
ArcMap is where you display and explore the datasets for your study area, where you assign symbols, and where you create map layouts for printing or publication. ArcMap is also the application you use to create and edit datasets.
ArcCatalog helps GIS users by providing an integrated and unified view of all the data files, databases, and ArcGIS documents available to ArcGIS users. Unlike other data (a photo or Word document), geographic datasets often consist of a set of files, rather than a single file.
ArcGlobe is one of two applications provided by the 3D Analyst extension and gives you a new and unique way to view and analyze your GIS data. Spatially referenced data is placed on a 3D globe surface, displayed in its true geodetic location. You can manipulate the globe, then investigate and analyze its data while viewing the globe as a whole, or regions within it.
Geodatabase ArcGIS works with geographic information managed in geodatabases as well as in numerous GIS file formats. The geodatabase is the native data structure for ArcGIS and is the primary data format used for editing and data management.
