In ArcGIS the View window provides a means to display and query a collection of user-defined layers. A view is an interactive map that lets you display, explore, query, and analyze geographic data in ArcGIS. It does not contain the geographic data, but references and reflects the current status of the source data contained in the attribute table.
Example: View window displaying the themes "streams.shp" & "county.shp"
