definition: Geographical information systems connect geographical methodology and computer-assisted information systems. They serve the processing of information with special consideration space or local purchase of the information. Thus they put us into the position, spatial distributions, to represent and analyze entwinement samples and relations. Research about GIS means argument with the computer-assisted illustration, modeling and simulation of spatial structures and processes in the broader sense and in the development from methods to these purposes strictly speaking. GIS supports tasks of the spatial drawing up the inventory, the environmental monitoring, the spatial analysis, the space referred prognosis and planning. Around practical effect to unfold GIS research must argue with the use of geo-information and geographical information systems in practice and science and make these the problem-generating analysis article. In the focus of the task methodology is thus located, besides a solid measure of technology control is demanded. In the center of the research work of the AG GIS at geographical Institute of the University of Bonn investigations to geo data infrastructure and geo-information economy with a strong component of the political counseling, Spatial Web services (key words are located: Semantic Web, intelligent space reference services, Ontologien) and the employment of GIS in the space and environmental planning.
