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.
