Preface
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing
on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than
ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me”.
(Isaac Newton)
In this sense, the book may help us to discover a small bay in the ocean of truth and may
slightly improve our insight into geographic information.
It has been almost 60 years since the phrase “geographic information system” was coined
in the early 1960s. Geographers recognized the need for automation of detail-oriented processing, and computers had matured enough to handle rudimentary models of the geographic
phenomenon. In the early days, geographic information systems were operated mostly in the
purview of national governments and universities. As processing power and model complexity grew, and the cost of memory storage dropped, GIS slowly spread beyond governments
into many disciplines and the private sector. Since the turn of the century, GIS has continued
to grow rapidly, and with the advent of the Internet is now used every day even by nongeographic literate people in all walks of life.
As a typical cross-sectional science, geographic information supports many other subject
areas with respect to their spatial components. The diversity of geographic information is often overlooked; one of the goals of this handbook to demonstrate this variety of applications.
They range from classical subjects, such as cartography and photogrammetry, through modern fields, like Internet-based Earth browsers, to specialized systems for agriculture or health
services, just to mention two of them.
Often, the term “geoinformatics” is used in place of geographic information science. This is
deliberately done because the International Standardization Committee considers geographic
information a specialization of information technology. Consequently, formerly prevailing
paradigms have been pushed back. Cartography is no longer primarily an “engineering art”.
Data capture from aerial and satellite imagery is not above all precision engineering, optics,
and applied mathematics. Property cadastre is not exclusively measuring art and legislation.
The new philosophy is applied information technology, in particular the Internet – static and
mobile, data bases, and a braiding of components from computer science. The handbook is
concerned with explaining this common ground. ISO and OGC standards are referenced in
many chapters as an important foundation for geographic information applications.
This second edition of the handbook follows the format of the successful first edition. Because of the rapid advancement of geographic information technology every chapter has been
revised. The authors, experts in their fields, were keen to provide the latest development in the
technology of their field. Several new chapters have been added: Big Data Analytics, Surveying, Building Information Modeling, Open Source GIS, and Smart Cities.
The handbook is subdivided into three parts, Basics and Computer Science, Geographic
Information, and Applications. Although the structure may be quite clear, not every topic can
be absolutely allocated to one of the three parts.
The first part of the book begins with a chapter about modeling; the basic concepts for
abstracting real-world geographic phenomena into data for use in an information system. Other
chapters in this part are linked to the basics of information technology and mathematics. The
v
vi
Preface
chapters about big data and the geospatial semantic web (Part 2) illuminate developments
of information technology that are essential for spatial data that are often characterized by
huge volumes of data, as well as multicultural and multilinguistic environments, but are still
developing rapidly.
The second part addresses the specific foundations of geographic information. Chap. 6
starts with a little textbook about geographic information. Other chapters present geodesy
and coordinate reference systems, data acquisition, remote sensing, metadata, geometry, and
cartography, among others.
Out of the multiplicity of applications only a limited number of typical cases can be presented in the third part of the book. However, the selection focuses on the broad range of the
field and stimulates the reader to gain a better understanding and, perhaps, some new ideas.
The authors, from all parts of the world, convey their distinctive perspectives of the same
large field of geographic information. While in Europe geographic information is driven by
legislative and organizational framework, with respect to property cadaster and planning in
particular, in other parts of the world it is more technology driven.
The development of applications reaches from proprietary systems to the open-source community. The handbook allows for both. Large software vendors keep playing a predominant
role in governmental systems and/or demanding developments. This is illustrated in the chapters about marine GIS and hydrography, energy suppliers, and defense. The open-source
concept is addressed in the chapter of the same name. Geology, which has always been a
driving force for development in cartography and geographic information, may today count
for both sides, administrative systems and the open-source world.
Access to the Internet via cell-phone networks has widely abolished the distinction between
static and mobile applications. Mobile applications mainly differ from static ones in their
specific tasks. This topic is addressed in the chapters Geospatial Web Services, Location-Based
Services, and GIS in Transportation.
Economically relevant applications are fully developed and in daily operation but only because they were preceded by research activities like those covered in several of the handbook
chapters, such as in Change Detection and Marine GIS with a focus on marine ecology.
What is the distinction between a textbook and a handbook? A handbook is like a collection
of many small textbooks. Every chapter conveys a good and complete summary of a subject
area with references for further study. The authors have solved their tasks in different ways.
Some of them have prepared the subject like a tutorial to help understand a lecture. An example
is the chapter about positional accuracy improvement, including an introduction to adjustment
theory in Chap. 2. Other authors explain the basics and complement these with elaborated
examples, as is, e.g., done in the section about spatial databases in Chap. 3. Further on, the
handbook promotes the harmonization of content and terminology, primarily in Chap. 12 about
standards.
As described above, geographic information is a diversified subject that resists full documentation in one single book. We hope that our selection of topics reflects all important and
many typical perspectives, and that the numerous references to other sources may help the
reader to proceed where coverage by the handbook ends.
