在过去几个世纪中，将地理上参考的信息纳入社会科学和人文科学的概念框架和应用是一个持续不断的过程。近几十年来，随着计算和可视化技术的进步以及新数据来源的到来，这一势头有所增强。本文首先概述了这一转变，并认为信息资源的空间整合以及分析和表达方法的跨学科共享是科学和艺术表达相结合的重要力量，它们借鉴了空间(和时空)思维中的核心概念。我们并不认为这类似于先前的统一知识体系的概念，但我们确实坚持认为，知识转移的边界正在瓦解，我们为艺术表达和科学发展目的解决问题的能力通过空间视角得到增强。此外，各级教育办法必须认识到，如果学生和研究人员要利用更广泛的空间信息和数据处理技术，就必须熟练掌握这些基本空间概念的关键和有效应用。
The integration of geographically referenced information into the conceptual frameworks and applied uses of the social sciences and humanities has been an ongoing process over the past few centuries. It has gained momentum in recent decades with advances in technologies for computation and visualization and with the arrival of new data sources. This article begins with an overview of this transition, and argues that the spatial integration of information resources and the cross-disciplinary sharing of analysis and representation methodologies are important forces for the integration of scientific and artistic expression, and that they draw on core concepts in spatial (and spatio-temporal) thinking. We do not suggest that this is akin to prior concepts of unified knowledge systems, but we do maintain that the boundaries to knowledge transfer are disintegrating and that our abilities in problem solving for purposes of artistic expression and scientific development are enhanced through spatial perspectives. Moreover, approaches to education at all levels must recognize the need to impart proficiency in the critical and efficient application of these fundamental spatial concepts, if students and researchers are to make use of expanding access to a broadening range of spatialized information and data processing technologies.
