20 years ago, from July 8 to 20, 1990, 60 researchers gathered for
two weeks at Castillo-Palacio Magalia in Las Navas del Marques
(Avila Province, Spain) to discuss cognitive and linguistic aspects
of geographic space. This meeting was the start of successful
research on cognitive issues in geographic information science,
produced an edited book (D. M. Mark and A. U. Frank, Eds., 1991,
Cognitive and Linguistic Aspects of Geographic Space. NATO ASI
Series D: Behavioural and Social Sciences 63. Kluwer,
Dordrecht/Boston/London), and led to a biannual conference (COSIT),
a refereed journal (Spatial Cognition and Computation), and a
substantial and still growing research community. It appeared
worthwhile to assess the achievements and to reconsider the
research challenges twenty years later. What has changed in the age
of computational ontologies and cyber-infrastructures? Consider
that 1990 the web was only about to emerge and the very first
laptops had just appeared! The 2010 meeting brought together many
of the original participants, but was also open to others, and
invited contributions from all who are researching these topics.
Early-career scientists, engineers, and humanists working at the
intersection of cognitive science and geographic information
science were invited to help with the re-assessment of research
needs and approaches. The meeting was very successful and compared
the research agenda laid out in the 1990 book with achievements
over the past twenty years and then turned to the future: What are
the challenges today? What are worthwhile goals for basic research?
What can be achieved in the next 20 years? What are the lessons
learned? This edited book will assess the current state of the
field through chapters by participants in the 1990 and 2010
meetings and will also document an interdisciplinary research
agenda for the future.
