As we in the geoinformation community move into 2006, a new age in our
industry has already begun. Over the last two years, both consumer and
commercial awareness of geospatial abilities and applicability has
increased exponentially, catching up with, if not exceeding, governmental
awareness and valuation of geoinformation. Geoinformation represents
the use of geographic information to provide context for discussion,
analysis, and decision making. Hardly a newscast, podcast, blog,
newspaper, or Web site has not touched on, in one form or another, the use
of geoinformation over the last year. Whether it is the direct use of 3D
map visualizations in newscasts; map mashups in personal Web sites; or
the furthering of discussion regarding phenomenal interest and
implications of using maps to visualize our respective lives, communities,
and organizations, the geoinformation industry has never had this much of
a spotlight.
