Land Information System. A special type of GIS that manages and analyzes data related to land ownership (e.g., tax parcels, urban infrastructure, property assessment). A GIS used for municipal or county level applications is typically structured as an LIS. Data stored in an LIS are commonly recorded very accurately on a large-scale map (e.g., at scales of 1:1,000 to 1:10,000).

Land information system. a system for acquiring, processing, storing and distributing information about land.
Laboratory Information System. An integrated system for the processing of laboratory data. While electronic lab reports are becoming more commonplace, the proprietary nature of commercial lab systems has limited the changeover to a paperless, patient record.
Laboratory information system. Generic term for a system used for general handling of test information by hospitals and other medical institutions. The system supports the flow of test information, from reception through to reporting results and data management.
is the acronym for land information system. LIS and GIS are virtually synonymous, although it could be maintained that an LIS is but one component of a GIS.

Land Information System. Similar to a GIS, an LIS is designed specifically to create, visualize, analyze, report and publish land-based data such as parcel information, zoning, land use, ownership and general property information.
Land Information System. A subset of the geographic information industry that is dedicated to the management, analysis and presentation of information relating to land, including ownership and legal rights. Often an automated development of the Cadastre.
LIS is a litigation support system developed by the Court Services Department in South Australia.
Land Information System. System for describing data about land and its use, ownership, and development.
Land Information System. The computer program designed for the Ministry of Natural Resources to store all information about Crown lands granted to the private sector. LIS includes information on leases, licences of occupation, and patents. For patents, LIS only stores information about the original grant of land. Subsequent severances and sales of patents are not reported to MNR. They are reported to the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations [MCCR].
Land Information System. Manual or computer-based information system used to store, retrieve, display, and plot spatial and textural data relating primarily to land features and characteristics. Addresses a wide range of existing natural and cultural aspects of land within a mapped area including property ownership, tax assessment, zoning, land use, vegetation, soils, geology, hazardous areas, noise zones, surface and subsurface hydrology. Can also include overlays that address infrastructure systems including transportation, sewer, water, storm, electric, cable, and telephone and storm drainage.
