Welcome to MSDIS

MSDIS is the Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, a spatial data retrieval and archival system. GIS technology is emerging worldwide as the standard tool for integrated management of geographic information. Geographic information, often referred to as spatial information, can be defined as any piece of information that can be referenced by an x, y location. GIS technology enables managers and users of geographic information to achieve higher levels of information integration and to perform more complex analyses than are practically feasible in manual environments.

MSDIS is responsible for data storage and access, standardization of both digital and tabular data, creation of the data dictionary, compilation of metadata, and statewide GIS user information networks.

MSDIS is a center within the University of Missouri Department of Geography and is supported by the University of Missouri College of Arts and Science.
