The Future of GIS
10
Recap

• this class was about theory, basic, fundamental
  concepts, SOME hands-on
• based on a national curriculum
• CONCEPTS - data model, data structure, topology,
  data compilation, process, analysis
• What role does space have as a source for
  explanation understanding?
• TECHNIQUES - overlay, buffer, map algebra,
  interpolation
• TOOLS - labs

11

GIScience, GISystems and GIStudies

• GIScience fundamental scientific issues arising
  from the use of GISystems (concepts, techniques)
• GISystems implement the storehouse of GIScience
  knowledge (tools, techniques)
• GIStudies how systems and science are embedded
  in a societal context

Why speculate on the future?

• May get something right!
• Most of tomorrows systems are under development
  now. (UCGIS)
• Some of tomorrows systems already exist, but are
  not diffused through the hierarchy of potential
  users.
• Prepare for new hardware and software

• Public participation GIS

18
Long-Term Research Priorities priorities--gtresearc
h? research agenda

• Geographic Representation
• Scale
• Spatial Data Acquisition Integration
• Spatial Cognition
• Spatial Ontologies

• Space and Space/Time Analysis Modeling
• Uncertainty
• Visualization
• GIS and Society
• Geographic Information Engineering

19
Grand ChallengesNational Academy of Engineering

• Make solar energy affordable
• Engineer better medicines
• Prevent nuclear terror

• Provide access to clean water everywhere
• Secure cyberspace
• Reverse-engineer the brain!

20
Grand Challenges in GIScience??

• Finish Digital Earth by 2015!
• Create digital simulations of geographic
  phenomena indistinguishable from real
  counterparts!
• Map or visualize all uncertainties!
• Find all appropriate data no matter how hidden!

21
Grand Challenges in GIScience??

• What is the cost to the nation of geographic
  information that is inaccurate, overaccurate or
  out-of-date?
• What role can geographic technologies play in
  eliminating geographic illiteracy?
• In what ways have we yet to exploit the
  superiority of digital maps over paper maps?
• By how much can effective use of geographic
  information improve human safety and welfare
  while reducing the associated costs?

23
Some of the future is NOW!

• Desktop mapping on a budget
• Real high end power
• GIS/GPS integration
• Rapidly maturing market with broad public
  acceptance and knowledge
• The Web More than data delivery

24
GIS and the Internet

• Access distributed data and processing systems
• Publish data and knowledge between users
• From monolithic desktop systems to distributed
  GI-Services
• Geography is still very important in cyberspace

GIS and the Internet

• Access distributed data and processing systems
• Publish data and knowledge between users
• From monolithic desktop systems to distributed
  GI-Services ? Server GIS Cloud GIS
• Geography is still very important in cyberspace

26
GIS and the Internet Mashups

• County map w/pie chart of election results
• Google Map with sunrise/sunset calculator
• Google Map with line generalizer so lines with
  GPS points load more quickly
• Maps with tags, comments, personalization, etc.
• Javascript APIs
• ArcGIS Javascript API for ArcGIS server

27
GIS Drivers

• Hardware price performance continues to improve
• Hardware diversity increases
• Software functionality continues to improve
• GIScience becomes the norm
• More GI is created and accessible
• GIS plays a pivotal role in New Science
• Geographic measurement technologies become
  all-pervasive

Summary thus far

• Understanding GIS requires consideration of
  science, systems and studies
• GIS provides a framework to manage the world
• The real value of GIS is its problem solving
  capability
• The future of GIS and GISci is bright

45
But there are some real issues.(Longley et al.,
Chapter 20)
?
46
Personal Privacy
Freedom of Expression
vs.
U.S.?
Europe?

Constraints to GIS Development??
48
Societal Issue Democratic Access

• Open and democratic access to geospatial data is
  now possible!
• Are the policies and funding in place to support
  this?
• Otherwise real danger of major disenfranchisement
  
• the right and the need to access these data.
• Information haves and have nots.

49
4 Things Need to Close the Digital Divide
--Craig Barrett, CEO of Intel

• Computers
• Connectivity (especially Broadband wireless)
• Content
• Education on all of the above
• health education, economic development
