内容説明・目次
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.
