Geoinformatics is the science and
technologies which develops and uses information science infrastructure to
address the problems of geography, geosciences and related branches of
engineering.
Geoinformatics has been described as "the science and technology dealing
with the structure and character of spatial information, its capture, its
classification and qualification, its storage, processing, portrayal and
dissemination
Geomatics is a similarly used term which encompasses geoinformatics, but
geomatics focuses on surveying. Geoinformatics has at its core the
technologies supporting the processes of acquiring, analyzing and
visualizing spatial data. Both geomatics and geoinformatics include and rely
heavily upon the theory and practical implications of geodesy.
Geography and earth science increasingly rely on digital spatial data
acquired from remotely sensed images analyzed by geographical information
systems (GIS) and visualized on paper or the computer screen
Geoinformatics combines geospatial analysis and modeling, development of
geospatial databases, information systems design, human-computer interaction
and both wired and wireless networking technologies. Geoinformatics uses
geocomputation and geovisualization for analyzing geoinformation.
Branches of geoinformatics include:
Many fields benefit from geoinformatics,
including urban planning and land use management, in-car navigation systems,
virtual globes, public health, local and national gazetteer management,
environmental modeling and analysis, military, transport network planning and
management, agriculture, meteorology and climate change, oceanography and
coupled ocean and atmosphere modelling, business location planning, architecture
and archeological reconstruction, telecommunications, criminology and crime
simulation, aviation and maritime transport.
