抽象。在诸如地理信息系统和空间数据处理国际专题讨论会等会议上发表的研究论文涉及一系列知识和科学问题，这些问题远远超出了地理信息系统现有技术的有限技术能力。本文回顾了地理信息科学可能包括的主题。对这些基本问题的研究比发展技术能力更有长期生存和被学术界接受的前景。本文回顾了一系列关键领域的研究现状，并推测了为什么进展如此不平衡。本文的最后一节展望了未来，并在这一领域的研究具有重大潜力的新领域。
Abstract. Research papers at conferences such as EGIS and the International Symposia on Spatial Data Handling address a set of intellectual and scientific questions which go well beyond the limited technical capabilities of current technology in geographical information systems. This paper reviews the topics which might be included in a science of geographical information. Research on these fundamental issues is a better prospect for long-term survival and acceptance in the academy than the development of technical capabilities. This paper reviews the current state of research in a series of key areas and speculates on why progress has been so uneven. The final section of the paper looks to the future and to new areas of significant potential in this area of research.
