Abstract Geographic information science (GISci) can be defined as the set of basic research issues raised by the handling of geographic information. Although geographic information systems are often seen merely as tools, there is ample historical precedent for the role of tools in stimulating science, and provoking new ways of thinking about problems. GISci is a distinct specialty within a more broadly defined information science, with a multidisciplinary base that ranges from surveying to cognitive science. The paper addresses two topics among the many potentially fruitful areas for research within GISci at this time. Il traces the development of debate in the U.S. over the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, and its implications for the research and education communities. Spatial data provides a distinct set of problems for the development of digital libraries, and the paper reviews the Alexandria Project and some of its more fundamental objectives. The paper concludes with comments on the current sta...
地理信息科学(Geographic information science, GISci)是一门由地理信息处理引起的基础研究问题的集合。尽管地理信息系统经常被视为仅仅是一种工具，但在激发科学研究和激发思考问题的新方法方面，工具的作用有充足的历史先例。GISci是更广泛定义的信息科学中的一个独特专业，具有从测量到认知科学的多学科基础。本文在GISci的许多潜在富有成果的研究领域中讨论了两个主题。我将追溯美国关于国家空间数据基础设施的辩论的发展，以及它对研究和教育界的影响。空间数据为数字图书馆的发展提供了一系列独特的问题，本文回顾了亚历山大项目及其一些更基本的目标。文章最后对当前形势作了评论。
