The Countryside Information System (CIS) is a windows based system which contains habitat and landscape information, a wide range of environmental data, including landscape features, vegetation habitats and topography for each one kilometre square of the United Kingdom. It organises and presents information about the United Kingdom (UK) which can be linked to kilometre resolution grid references and stored, manipulated and presented in graphical and tabular format. The Ordnance Survey and Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland grid reference systems means that CIS runs in two modes, one to describe Great Britain (GB), the other Northern Ireland (NI), both modes are components of the standard system.
