Geoinformatics combines geospatial analysis and modeling, development of geospatial databases, information systems design, human-computer interaction and both wired and wireless networking technologies. Geoinformatic technologies include [[geographic information system]]s, [[spatial decision support system]]s, [[global positioning system]]s (GPS), and [[remote sensing]]. Geoinformatics uses [[geocomputation]] for analyzing [[geoinformation]]. Geoinformatics tools include: *An object-relational database (ORD) or object-relational database management system ([[ORDBMS]]) *[[Object-relational mapping]] (or O/RM) *[[Geostatistics]] ==Applications== Many fields benefit from geoinformatics, including the development of in-car navigation systems, automatic vehicle location systems, transportation planning and engineering, environmental modeling and analysis, urban planning, telecommunications, agriculture and public health. ==External links== * [http://geoinformatics.sdsc.edu/gsa_division/ Geoinformatics Section, Geological Society of America] *[http://www.ceg.ncl.ac.uk/research/geomatics/geoinformatics/geoinformatics.htm Geoinformatics Research Group] *[http://paces.geo.utep.edu/research/geoinformatics/geoinformatics_explained_brief.shtml What is Geoinformatics?] *[http://www.aaas.org/spp/rcp/sdconf/goodchld.htm National Science Priorities in Geoinformatics, Michael F.
