Geographic Information Science & Technology Body of Knowledge (GIS&T BoK)

  • Developed by University Consortium for Geographic

Information Science (UCGIS) ~ 2000 – 2006

– 10 knowledge areas, 73 units, 329 topics, and 1,660 learning objectives

  • Influence on GIS&T education globally

– U.S., Europe, Latin America, China

  • “GIS&T BoK2: Foundational Research”

– NSF funded for Fall 2010 – Spring 2013 – existing BoK1: top-down construction (experts only) – future BoK2: bottom-up construction (knowledge corpus, community) – components:

  • BoKOnto – Hunter College
  • BoKVPE – New Mexico State U.
  • BoKVis – SDSU
  • BoKWiki – BYU

The Fabric of the GIS&T Knowledge Domain

  • GIS&T Body of Knowledge driven by the GIS&T knowledge corpus
  • BoK: a reference system for the knowledge space we inhabit

BoKVis: Visualizing the GIS&T BoK

  • http://geography.sdsu.edu/Research/Projects/BoKVis/
  • Plan:

– Base map creation from:

1. Current BoK hierarchy 2. Current BoK content 3. GIS&T knowledge corpus

– Provide sockets for overlays of:

  • Text queries
  • Personal Competencies, CVs
  • Courses, curricula, institutions

 semantic Web based representations

From Measurement to Visualization (via Standards)

  • 1. Measure

 size and shape

  • 2. Standardize

reference system

  • 3. Reduce Dimensionality

 domain-ignorant

  • 4. Reproject

 domain-appropriate

  • 5. Overlay

 look for patterns
