This book draws on author's wealth of knowledge working on numerous
projects across many countries. It provides a clear overview of the
development of the SDI concept and SDI worldwide implementation and
brings a logical chronological approach to the linkage of GIS
technology with SDI enabling data. The theory and practice approach
help understand that SDI development and implementation is very
much a social process of learning by doing. The author masterfully
selects main historical developments and updates them with an
analytical perspective promoting informed and responsible use of
geographic information and geospatial technologies for the benefit
of society from local to global scales. Features Subject matter
spans thirty years of the development of GIS and SDI. Brings a
social science perspective into GIS and SDI debates that have been
largely dominated by technical considerations. Based on a
world-wide perspective as a result of the author's experience and
research in the USA, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Peru, China, India,
Korea, Malaysia, and Japan as well as most European countries.
Draws upon professional and academic experience relating to
pioneering UK and European GIS research initiatives. Includes
updated historical material with an analytical perspective
explaining what was done right, and what didn't work.
