GIScience Vs. GISystems

• Systems automated systems for the capture,
  storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of
  spatial data (Keith Clarke 1995).
• Science the generic issues that surround the
  use of GIS technology, impede its successful
  implementation, or emerge from an understanding
  of its potential capabilities (Michael Goodchild
  1992).
• Includes map reading, cartography, spatial
  statistics quantitative geographic analysis
