Most geoscientists are aware of recent IT developments, but cannot spend time on obscure technicalities. Few have considered their implications for the science as a whole. Yet the information industry is moving fast: electronic delivery of hyperlinked multimedia; standards to support interdisciplinary and geographic integration; new models to represent and visualize our concepts, and control and manage our activities; plummeting costs that force the pace. To stay on course, the scientist needs a broad appreciation of the complex and profound interactions of geoscience and IT, not previously reviewed in a single work. This book brings together ideas from many sources that bear on the geoscience information system.
Defining information technology, its significance in geoscience and the aims of this publication; benefits for geoscience from information technology and an example from geological mapping of the need for a broad view; familiarization with IT applications to support the individual geoscientist; familiarization with IT applications to support the workgroup; familiarization with IT background; familiarization with quantitative analysis; familiarization with spatial analysis; familiarization with managing the information base; a view of the conventional geoscience information system; human requirements that shape the evolving geoscience information system; coping with changing ideas - defining the user requirement for a future information system; adjusting the emerging information system to new technology; business requirements drive the information system, and provide coherent frameworks.
