The purpose of this paper is to describe a taxonomy of GIS functions, focusing on analytical capabilities. The taxonomy is rooted in an abstract model describing geographic data, and an operational model describing the processing of this data in GIS. The taxonomy emphasizes the meaning of the information derived through GIS-based analysis rather than the technical mechanisms for deriving this information. In Appendices to the paper, the taxonomy is tested by mapping functions from existing GISs into the taxonomy function categories
