An INFORMATION SYSTEM is an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, processing, and communicating information. Business firms, other organizations, and individuals in contemporary society rely on information systems to manage their operations, compete in the marketplace, supply services, and augment personal lives.

Geographic Information Systems

Geographic information system (GIS) technology can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, and development planning. For example, a GIS might allow emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a natural disaster, or a GIS might be used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution.

What is a GIS?
A GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information; that is, data identified according to location. Practitioners also define a GIS as including the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system.

How does a GIS work?
Relating information from different sources

The power of a GIS comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context and to reach a conclusion about this relationship. Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference, placing that information at some point on the globe. When rainfall information is collected, it is important to know where the rainfall is located. This is done by using a location reference system, such as longitude and latitude, and perhaps elevation. Comparing the rainfall information with other information, such as the location of marshes across the landscape, may show that certain marshes receive little rainfall. This fact may indicate that these marshes are likely to dry up, and this inference can help us make the most appropriate decisions about how humans should interact with the marsh. A GIS, therefore, can reveal important new information that leads to better decisionmaking.

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT A GIS? The way maps and other data have been stored or filed as layers of information in a GIS makes it possible to perform complex analyses.

Information retrieval
What do you know about the swampy area at the end of your street? With a GIS you can "point" at a location, object, or area on the screen and retrieve recorded information about it from offscreen files (fig. 16). Using scanned aerial photographs as a visual guide, you can ask a GIS about the geology or hydrology of the area or even about how close a swamp is to the end of a street. This type of analysis allows you to draw conclusions about the swamp's environmental sensitivity.

Topological modeling
Have there ever been gas stations or factories that operated next to the swamp? Were any of these uphill from and within 2 miles of the swamp? A GIS can recognize and analyze the spatial relationships among mapped phenomena. Conditions of adjacency (what is next to what), containment (what is enclosed by what), and proximity (how close something is to something else) can be determined with a GIS.

DATA OUTPUT:
A critical component of a GIS is its ability to produce graphics on the screen or on paper to convey the results of analyses to the people who make decisions about resources. Wall maps, Internet-ready maps, interactive maps, and other graphics can be generated, allowing the decisionmakers to visualize and thereby understand the results of analyses or simulations of potential events.

FRAMEWORK FOR COOPERATION:

The use of a GIS can encourage cooperation and communication among the organizations involved in environmental protection, planning, and resource management. The collection of data for a GIS is costly. Data collection can require very specialized computer equipment and technical expertise.

VISUALIZATION:
Maps have traditionally been used to explore the Earth. GIS technology has enhanced the efficiency and analytical power of traditional cartography. As the scientific community recognizes the environmental consequences of human activity, GIS technology is becoming an essential tool in the effort to understand the process of global change. Map and satellite information sources can be combined in models that simulate the interactions of complex natural systems.
Through a process known as visualization, a GIS can be used to produce images— not just maps, but drawings, animations, and other cartographic products. These images allow researchers to view their subjects in ways that they never could before. The images often are helpful in conveying the technical concepts of a GIS to nonscientists.

THE FUTURE OF GIS:

Environmental studies, geography, geology, planning, business marketing, and other disciplines have benefitted from GIS tools and methods. Together with cartography, remote sensing, global positioning systems, photogrammetry, and geography, the GIS has evolved into a discipline with its own research base known as geographic information sciences. An active GIS market has resulted in lower costs and continual improvements in GIS hardware, software, and data. These developments will lead to a much wider application of the technology throughout government, business, and industry.
GIS and related technology will help analyze large datasets, allowing a better understanding of terrestrial processes and human activities to improve economic vitality and environmental quality.

To help the investing public keep track faster of industry performance, listed companies are classified into the following sectors: Financial, Industrial, Holding Firms, Property, Services, and Mining and Oil.

Functions:

PSE IS has adopted an online daily disclosure system to improve the transparency of listed companies and ensure full, fair, timely and accurate disclosure of material information from all listed companies.

To address public demand for speedy access to information on the securities market, the PSE's website, www.pse.com.ph, provides comprehensive market data, stock quotations, dividend declarations, trading activities, and other pertinent information on the PSE, trading participants, listed companies and other institutions.

Advantages in the Organization:

The Philippine Stock Exchange Information System provides and ensures a fair, efficient, transparent and orderly market system for the buying and selling of securities.

Business Activities

Step-by-step Processes: [manual/automated]

All equity transactions, whether buying or selling has a settlement period of T+3 (trading day + 3 working days). This means that a seller should be able to deliver the stock certificate, if any, to his broker and the buyer must have paid the cost of transaction to his broker within 3 working days after the trade was done. Historically, settlement was done manually (27-day cycle). With the advent of scripless trading wherein settlement is done via the book-entry-system (thru Philippine Central Depository or PCD), transactions are settled on the third day after trade date. Under this system, the investor has the option to hold on to his certificate (uplift) or deposit (lodge) this certificate in PCD through his broker-participant account. SDT-Bonds transactions, however, are settled on the same day when the trade is transacted (T+0). There shall be no physical transfer of bond certificates. The transfer of securities shall be conducted electronically by the BTr's Registry of Scripless Securities (RoSS). On the other hand, cash settlement will be coursed through the PSE's two settlement banks namely, Equitable-PCI Bank and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation.

The Decision Support System 4.0 for Agro technology

The Decision Support System 4.0 for Agro technology Transfer (DSSAT) is an Information System used and founded by ICASA (International for Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications) It is a microcomputer software program combining crop soil and weather data bases and programs to manage them, with crop models and application programs, to simulate multi-year outcomes of crop management strategies. As a software package integrating the effects of soil, crop phenotype, weather and management options, DSSAT allows users to ask "what if" questions and simulate results by conducting, in minutes on a desktop computer, experiments which would consume a significant part of an agronomist's career. The Decision Support System for Agro technology Transfer (DSSAT) has been in use for more than 15 years by researchers in over 100 countries worldwide.

USERS:

The users of the system are Agro technologists and biologists. They aim to practice effective crop management strategies.
TYPE OF IS:
A decision support system

FUNCTION:

DSSAT also provides for validation of crop model outputs; thus allowing users to compare simulated outcomes with observed results. Crop model validation is accomplished by inputting the user's minimum data, running the model, and comparing outputs. By simulating probable outcomes of crop management strategies, DSSAT offers users information with which to rapidly appraise new crops, products, and practices for adoption.


ADVANTAGE IN THE ORGANIZATION (ICASA):

The release of DSSAT Version 4 incorporates changes to both the structure of the crop models and the interface to the models and associated analysis and utility programs. The DSSAT package incorporates models of 27 different crops with new tools that facilitate the creation and management of experimental, soil, and weather data files. DSSAT v4 includes improved application programs for seasonal and sequence analyses that assess the economic risks and environmental impacts associated with irrigation, fertilizer and nutrient management, climate change, soil carbon sequestration, climate variability and precision management.
DSSAT was developed through collaboration between scientists at the University of Florida, the University of Georgia, University of Guelph, University of Hawaii, the International Center for Soil Fertility and Agricultural Development, Iowa State University and other scientists associated with ICASA.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

The DSSAT software can be downloaded through a registration form to your personal computer. After the on-line registration, the form will be submitted through the organization’s e-mail. Because it is software, the organization practices an automated process.

Record

Record is one type of an item in database. There is a wide variety of such"records", but the most common type, the one relational databases support isan instance of the other kind of record. It may also be defined as anaggregation of several items of possibly different types; the items beingaggregated are called ''fields'' and are usually identified or indexed by''field labels''. Generally, the fields in a record are related, alldescribing different properties of a single conceptual object. For example,we might have a record describing an employee, with a string field with thelabel ''name'', and an integer field with the label ''age''.

Table

Definition: A table in a relational database is a predefined format of rows and columns that define an entity. Tables are often the main place where data is stored. They work very much like a spreadsheet. You can enter new data in a table.

Explanation: A table is the frame of a work sheet. Basically you can input data and other formulas. It is composed of horizontal columns and vertical rows, which are made up of cells. Columns in a table have a specified number but it can have any number of rows. The data in it does not have to be physically stored in the database

Field

(1) A space allocated for a particular item of information. A tax form, for example, contains a number of fields: one for your name, one for your Social Security number, one for your income, and so on. In database systems, fields are the smallest units of information you can access. In spreadsheets, fields are called cells.

Most fields have certain attributes associated with them. For example, some fields are numeric whereas others are textual, some are long, while others are short. In addition, every field has a name, called the field name.

In database management systems, a field can be required, optional, or calculated. A required field is one in which you must enter data, while an optional field is one you may leave blank. A calculated field is one whose value is derived from some formula involving other fields. You do not enter data into a calculated field; the system automatically determines the correct value.
A collection of fields is called a record.

(2) The phrase in the field refers to any geographical location other than the factory or office where a product was created. Similarly, a field representative is an employee who represents a company in distant locations.

(3) In video terminology, a field is one of many still images that make up a moving picture. A field is similar to a frame, but is displayed twice as fast and is half the vertical resolution.

Database

Often abbreviated DB. A collection of information organized in such a way that a computer program can quickly select desired pieces of data. You can think of a database as an electronic filing system.

Traditional databases are organized by fields, records, and files. A field is a single piece of information; a record is one complete set of fields; and a file is a collection of records. For example, a telephone book is analogous to a file. It contains a list of records, each of which consists of three fields: name, address, and telephone number.

To access information from a database, you need a database management system (DBMS). This is a collection of programs that enables you to enter, organize, and select data in a database.

To this effect, industries which use databases can be able to share information from one computer to the other. Transfer of data is easier and significantly, tasks are saved from a lot of red tape or tons of paperwork. With the growing demand for computerized industry transactions, the demand for personalized databases(according to the needs of different sectors) continually increases. As the years pass, we can see a progression of databases.

I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I have a vision for business. Everywhere I look, I always see an opportunity waiting for me.

I also have interest in the organic way of life. That’s why I devoted my thesis on an organic fertilizer- VERMIKAST (earthworm compost). [For orders and inquiries please call or text me at 0915-324-3643]. Told you I can see another opportunity to do business.

Contrary to my previous claim that I am a nobody, I am really a somebody because I am somebody for someone. I have influenced and am influencing someone, therefore, I am a somebody. I like to assume sometimes you know.

I'm a Salvador, Davao-raised. Call me Ilsea, Sei, Seng, Mariel, Yel. But please, spare the Maria. I heart Superman. Ok, Christopher Reeve. (Bless his soul.)

I'm a Philosophy junior and now, I'm trying to break the cliche of just saying "live a life for others" and just make it a reality. =)
