Geoinformatics

Geoinformatics is a science which develops and uses information science infrastructure to address the problems of geosciences and related branches of engineering.

The three main tasks of geoinformatics are:

development and management of databases of geodata
analysis and modeling of geodata
development and integration of computer tools and software for the first two tasks.

Geoinformatics is related to geocomputation and to the development and use of geographic information systems or Spatial Decision Support Systems

Applications

An object-relational database (ORD) or object-relational database management system (ORDBMS)
Object-relational mapping (or O/RM)
Geostatistics
