GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SCIENCE is the science involved in developing Geographic Information System technology, applications and algorithms. The scientific contribution to the development of current GIS can easily be recognized starting from basic theories and algorithms developed to handle spatial data problems up to recent utilization of the wireless technology and protocols in mobile GIS applications. Many scientific disciplines contribute to today’s GIS achievements. Scientists in the fields of mathematics, computer science, and cartography contributed significantly into core GIS development. Map projection is an example of a traditional scientific concept implemented in all GIS systems to provide the planimetric representation of features located on the curved earth surface. |
