چکیده
Research papers at conferences such as EGIS and the International Symposia on Spatial Data Handling address a set of intellectual and scientific questions which go well beyond the limited technical capabilities of current technology in geographical information systems. This paper reviews the topics which might be included in a science of geographical information. Research on these fundamental issues is a better prospect for long-term survival and acceptance in the academy than the development of technical capabilities. This paper reviews the current state of research in a series of key areas and speculates on why progress has been so uneven. The final section of the paper looks to the future and to new areas of significant potential in this area of research. “Based on keynote addresses by the author at the Fourth International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling, Zurich, July 1990 (Goodchild 1990). and EGIS 91. Brussels, April 1991 (Goodchild 1991).
