Studies on the development of standard geographical information science curricula and that of the sustainable-collaborative web library systems for serving their contents

这项研究的主要目标是：第一，开发地理信息科学与技术(GIS&T)标准课程；第二，开发可持续协作的网络图书馆系统，为课程内容提供服务。我们很高兴地报告，正如本文所示，这两个目标已经成功实现。围绕第一个目标，我们开发了三门课程：地理信息科学课程、地理信息技术课程和两个地理信息技术共同的课程。这些课程是通过与日本多个领域的研究人员和相关学术团体以及世界各地专门从事地理信息技术课程的知名研究人员合作建立的。针对第二个目标，我们按照上述标准课程，建立了地理信息系统与技术教育必备教材信息服务体系。其次，我们选择了在网上发布的最好的《地理信息系统与技术》讲座，该系统为这些讲座提供信息服务。三是建立了地理信息系统专业认证和地理信息系统课程认证制度。最后，我们开发了一个在线的地理信息系统与技术讲座，我们从2006年开始开办这个讲座。

The major objectives of this study are : first, to develop the standard curricula of geographical information science and technology (GIS&T); second, to develop the sustainable-collaborative web library systems for serving the contents of the curricula. We are very happy to report that these two objectives have successfully achieved, as shown in this paper.Concerning the first objective, we have developed three curricula : the curriculum for geographical information science, that for geographical information technology, and the curriculum common to the two GIS&T. These curricula were established through the collaboration with researchers in many fields, and related academic associations in Japan as well as distinguished researchers specialized in GIS&T curricula over the world. The established curricula can be commonly used for educating university underground studentsConcerning the second objective, we established the systems for serving the information about teaching materials necessary for educating GIS&T according to the above standard curricula. Second, we selected the best-lectures on GIS&T distributed over the Internet and the system serves the information of these lectures. Third, we built the institution of the GIS Profession Accreditation and GIS Curricular Accreditation. Last, we have developed an on-line GIS&T lecture and we are running this lecture since 2006.
