AAG Publishes GIS&T Body of Knowledge |
|
|
The AAG has just published the first edition of the Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge. The book is the result of over a decade of effort by many leading GIScience researchers and educators, including important early work by Duane Marble, and represents an initial effort to compile the wide range of skills and concepts that comprise the field of geographic information science and technology (GIS&T). The Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge is a community-developed inventory of the knowledge and skills that define the GIS&T field. It is designed as a reference work for use by educators, curriculum planners, and evaluators; current and prospective students; certification and accreditation bodies; human resources personnel; and geospatial professionals. The book’s editors are David DiBiase, Michael DeMers, Ann Johnson, Karen Kemp, Ann Taylor Luck, Brandon Plewe, and Elizabeth Wentz, of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) Education Committee. Additionally, an advisory board of over fifty individuals made contributions and reviewed parts of the document. [References]
