Introduction to Geoinformatics

Geoinformatics is a sub-discipline of computer science dealing with the definition of data structures and formats in order to map phenomena and objects related to the Earth's surface in information systems, including programming their analyzes and modelling their behaviour to identify spatial relationships. These analyzes are performed together with the creation of own spatial data management tools. Definition created by Artur Krawczyk
