内容説明

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.

目次

  • 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.
