'''Geoinformatics''' is a [[science]] which develops and uses [[information science]] infrastructure to address the problems of [[geosciences]] and related branches of [[engineering]]. 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.
