Geospatial and GIS is the cross product of IT, GIS in the "G" and "IS" represent the two crossed the knowledge and skills. The development of GIS software technology, must consider two kinds of knowledge and technology balance and coordination.
The development of GIS software in history, there have been G and IS a serious lack of coordination, imbalance in the development process. GIS software of some serious "partial subjects", or too much emphasis on one of the Geospatial ability to ignore IT capabilities, or re-IT light Geospatial.
One is light weight Geospatial and IT, "Gis", uppercase "G", lowercase "is". "Gis" software can be called the expert GIS, a powerful, but difficult to use, difficult to master. This GIS is highbrow, only a few experts in the field of land will be used, and this is no less than professional GIS has long coat off because, seriously hampered the application of GIS to promote.
Earlier work in GIS with industry feel about this: the early use of high-end GIS software is very difficult to learn the price very high. Ten years ago, even in the birthplace of the Chinese Academy of Sciences of China Institute of GIS, the proficient use of GIS software of a foreign people, but also one of the few. At that time, master the operation of a GIS software, who may become well-known academic experts in the industry.
Even today, some GIS Geospatial software also over the design capacity, and the relative lack of capacity in IT and software costs continue to maintain a high level of learning. Moreover, the IT architecture often make mistakes, not only mislead consumers, GIS software development unit is also constantly changing as the deviation of the software architecture R & D to pay the extra costs.
The other is the heavy and light Geospatial IT's "gIS", lowercase "g", uppercase "IS". To be distinguished, "gIS" software is often easy to operate, even without a professional to learn skills, also easy to learn and use. However, insufficient capacity to learn, can not meet the large-scale application projects, and the demand for high-end applications is the low-end entry-level GIS software.
GIS applications in China for a long period of time, "gIS" software for easy to learn and very popular, not only of many schools teaching the early GIS software, and large-scale application in many industries, in order to make the popularization of GIS an outstanding contribution. But with the increase in the level of industrial applications, many entry-level flat on the "gIS" software applications can not meet the higher demand.
Uneven development of GIS software capabilities, leading to polarization of GIS software, once seriously, many application software selection unit in the GIS when faced with such embarrassment: "gIS" software easy to learn, but insufficiency, "Gis" powerful, But the learning costs and maintenance costs are too high, hard to find a bed of roses in the GIS software.
Encountered "non-equilibrium GIS" embarrassment, we call balanced "GIS", uppercase "G" and uppercase "IS". Barrel Theory tells us that a bucket can hold much water, depending on the height of the shortest piece of board. GIS software to identify and compensate for the short board, coordinated and balanced development of the Geospatial GIS capabilities and IT capabilities in order to more effectively promote rapid and healthy development of GIS technology.
