Abstract

Geographical Information Science (GIScience), also Geographical Information Science and Systems, is a multi-faceted research discipline and comprises a wide variety of topics. Investigation into data management and interoperability of geographical data and environmental data sets for scientific analysis, visualisation and modelling is an important driver of the Information Science aspect of GIScience, that underpins comprehensive Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) research and development. In this article we present the 'Grounded Design' method, a fusion of Design Science Research (DSR) and Grounded Theory (GT), and how they can act as guiding principles to link GIScience, Computer Science and Earth Sciences into a converging GI systems development framework. We explain how this bottom-up research framework can yield holistic and integrated perspectives when designing GIS and SDI systems and software. This would allow GIScience academics, GIS and SDI practitioners alike to reliably draw from interdisciplinary knowledge to consistently design and innovate GI systems.

基础设计和地理信息科学。为地理信息系统和空间数据基础设施设计提供信息的框架

地理信息科学(GIScience)，又称地理信息科学与系统，是一门多方面的研究学科，包括各种各样的主题。为了科学分析、可视化和建模，对地理数据和环境数据集的数据管理和互操作性的调查是GIScience信息科学方面的重要推动力，它支撑了综合地理信息系统(GIS)和空间数据基础设施(SDI)的研究和发展。在本文中，我们介绍了“接地设计”方法，这是设计科学研究(DSR)和接地理论(GT)的融合，以及它们如何作为指导原则，将gisscience、计算机科学和地球科学连接到一个融合的GI系统开发框架中。我们解释了这种自下而上的研究框架如何在设计GIS和SDI系统和软件时产生整体和集成的观点。这将使地理信息科学学者、地理信息系统和SDI从业者都能够可靠地从跨学科的知识中汲取知识，从而始终如一地设计和创新地理信息系统。
