For a long time, the ocean was regarded as unknown area ruled by god, consequently, not so much things were developed in scientific methods and activities. Despite a rapid development of geographic information systems(GIS) marine and ocean fields still remained in the scope of traditional tools and intuitive experiences by the late of 1990. However, land based concepts and technology models require additional customization to apply GIS effectively in marine domains, which are resulted from her dynamic, complex and seamless massive nature. This paper gives a brief review of marine spatial data characteristics and also presents strategic approaches to meet the unique marine GIS requirements.

Recently, the interests of mobile GIS(Geographic Information System) technology is increasing with the spread of wireless network, the improvement of mobile device's performances and the growth of demands about mobile services. If we refer mobile GIS system classified as 3rd generation with the success of Web 2.0, it is suggested that supplies of information from the server side couldn't enhance users' participations and the usage of service. In this study, we suggested the model of GIS 2.0 application based on Google map for Android smart-phones, which users could make, save and share information using photos and text by themselves. We were able to grasp the expectation of GIS 2.0 by expert assessment of this application and got to the core of conditions and implications for the success of GIS 2.0.

Geographic Information Systems(GIS) are very useful for spatial analysis and policy in local government administration. Recognizing the value of GIS, Chungnam province authorities put a spur on the introduction and development of it. But they have some difficulty in this process because of technical restraint, expertise shortage and budget limit. This study has surveyed current achievement and conditions for GIS development and presented general framework and subordinate tasks to build up GIS. First of all, there are a few prior conditions to guarantee the success of GIS: First, we should set up reasonable long-term plan and follow systematic procedures according to the plan. Second, it is essential to clarify what initiatively manage to whole business and so we should make up GIS-Board as an institutional center for this job. Third, we must research how to take advantage of already existing NGIS(National Geographic Information System), so that we may eliminate redundancy of investment. We can save a lot of finance and human resources through it. Fourth, we must focus on the importance of accurate mapping by utilizing new technology like GPS(Global Positioning System). Fifth, we should arrange efficient training program to constantly produce excellent human resources for GIS.

Recently, the geographic information system(GIS) is generally used in various fields with the development of information and communication technology, with expansion of its applications and utilization scope. Especially, utilizing GIS is expected to have positive effects on the geography learning and more helpful for the geographic information observation compared to the picture or 2D based media. The effective visualization of complex geographic data does not only take realization of its visual information but also increases the human ability in analysis and understanding to use the geographic information. In this paper, we examine a method to develop the geography learning contents based on the technology with augmented reality and GIS, and then we have a case study for various kinds of visualization techniques and examples to use in geography learning situation. Moreover, we introduce an example of the manufacturing process from the existing GIS data to augmented reality based geography learning system. From the above, we show that the usefulness of our method is applicable for effective visualization of the three-dimensional geographic information in the geography learning environment.

The purpose of this paper is to examine trends of the GIS education in the school's education of the USA, especially the geography education, which the application of GIS is activated in the life. In addition, in this paper are explored possibilities of GIS education in the geographical education of Korea throughout the consideration of the USA case. There are some backgrounds of the activation of GIS education in the USA, They can be characterized as (1) the achievement of the validity between the geographical importance in the realm of the national policy and GIS education, (2) offering standard indications for GIS education and gradually minimizing school teachers' work-loads, (3)the establishment of the network of GIS stake-holders and their cooperation, (4) the attraction of school students through case study-centered education, and (5) the share of GIS education-related information. These shall be considered to introduce actively GIS education into the geography education in Korea.

In this paper, we present WebGIS techniques that can acquire more information from users who offered information and location of region's crops. So that it can be search the information based on Ontology defining Metadata for understand and control more accurately. And this paper shows how to implement about prototype of crops information system for obtaining information of location. Our object is to offer results Service form search, to analyze question of user and to show the exact geographic information about question of user. So this paper can be provide convenience to users that can be show Semantic WebGIS system.

Recently, as the growth of the application of geographical information in various application fields, a geographic information system(GIS) has been building for using them efficiently. GIS has been managing them in use data format individually. To service geographical information based distribution efficiently, there must be a Data Conversion System that can deal with converting of GIS geographical information with incompatible formats. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a Spatial Data Translation System with international standard to convert geographic data efficiently.

Recently, two international standard organizations, ISO and OGC, have done the work of standardization for GIS. Current standardization work for providing interoperability among GIS DB focuses on the design of open interfaces. But, this work has not considered procedures and methods for designing GIS DB. Eventually, GIS DB has its own model. When we share the data by open interface among heterogeneous GIS DB, differences between models result in the loss of information. Our aim in this paper is to revise the design guidelines for geographic information databases in order to make consistent spatial data models, logical structures, and semantic structure of populated geographical databases. In details, we propose standard guidelines which convert ISO abstract schema into relation model, object-relation model, object-centered model, and geometry-centered model. Furthermore, we provide sample models for applying these guidelines in commercial GIS S/Ws. Building GIS DB based on design guidelines proposed in the paper has the following advantages: the interoperability among databases, the standardization of schema definitions, and the catalogue of GIS databases through.

최근 네트웍의 보급과 지리정보의 활용이 증가하면서 효과적인 지리정보의 교환과 접근에 대한 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 GIS 데이터는 지리적으로 분리된 여러 부서나 조직에서 생성되고 있으며, 공간 정보 유통을 위한 클리어링하우스 등이 서로 다른 DBMS 상에서 독자적인 스키마를 가지고 개발되어 있다. 이러한 이질적인 구조와 구현 환경으로 인해 일반 사용자들이 서로 다른 GIS 데이터베이스를 접근하여 검색하는데 많은 어려움이 따르고 있다. 본 연구에서는 OMG의 메타데이터 교환 표준인 XMI로 표현된 이질적인 GIS 데이터베이스의 메타데이터를 통하여 사용자에게 각 데이터베이스의 구현 환경과 스키마에 독립적인 공간 데이터를 검색 기능을 제공하는 검색시스템을 구현하였다.

The Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system that collects, stores, analyzes and processes geographic object data existing in space. The GIS is widely used in application fields related to geography such as city planning, land-register management, forest resources management, etc. The importance and necessity of the GIS have been well demonstrated, and therefore many studies on this system have been carried out. However, most of those studies have just treated geographic information as spatial information, but have not considered or have overlooked changes of spatial data dependent on time. For example, transportation information management and atmospheric phenomena forecast, have not exactly reflected the actual world which changes with the flow of time. In this thesis, a temporal GIS is established to effectively and precisely process information on space objects changing with time and a database is built up in reference to changes in water temperature and salinity. And the isotherm and isohaline forecast system implemented to support graphical tool.
