1、Geomatics Defined（测绘学定义）Where does the word Geomatics come from?（Geomatics测绘或地球空间信息学，这个名词是怎么来的呢？） GEODESY+GEOINFORMATICS=GEOMATICS or GEO- for earth and MATICS for mathematical or GEO- for Geoscience and -MATICS for informatics. （大地测量学地理信息学GEOMATICS 测绘学 或者 geo 代表地 球，matics 代表数学，或者 geo 代表地球科学，matics

2、代表信息学） It has been said that geomatics is many things to many people.（据说测绘学这个词对不同的人有不同的 理解） The term geomatics emerged first in Canada and as an academic discipline; it has been introduced worldwide in a number of institutes of higher education during the past few years, mostly by renaming what was

3、previously called “geodesy” or “surveying”, and by adding a number of computer scienceand/or GIS-oriented courses.（这个术语作为一个学科第一次形成于加拿大；在过去的几年里被全世界的许多高等教育研究机构所熟知，通常是以前的“大地测量学” 或“测量学”在引入了许多计算机科学和 GIS 方向的课程后重新命名的。 ） Now the term includes the traditional surveying definition along with surveying steadil

4、y increased importance with the development of new technologies and the growing demand for a variety of spatially related types of information, particularly in measuring and monitoring our environment.（随着新技 术的发展和不断增长的对空间关系的信息类型的需求，尤其是在测量和监测我们的环境方面，现在， 传统测量学定义连同日益增长的测量的重要性一起包含在这个术语里了。 ） Increasingly

5、critical are areas of expanding populations, appreciating land values, dwindling natural resources, and the continuing stressing of the quality of our land, water and air from human activities. （日益增长的危机来自人口扩张，地价上涨，资源紧缩，还有由于人类活动引起的土地、水、空气质量 的持续的压力 As such, geomatics bridges wide arcs from the geoscie

6、nces through various engineering sciences and computer sciences to spatial planning, land development and the environmental sciences.（这样，测 绘学在地球科学，各种工程学，计算机科学，空间规划，土地开发和环境科学 相互之间架起了广泛的桥梁。 ） Now the word geomatics has been adopted by several international bodies including the International Standards

7、Organization（ISO）,so it is here to stay.（现在 geomatics 这个词已经被包括 ISO在内的数个国际机构所采用， 因此它就这样被普遍接受The term “surveyor” is traditionally used to collectively describe those engaged in the above activities. （surveyor 这个词按惯例用来总指（这换成“总称”较好） 那些从事上述 活动的人。 ） More explicit job descriptions such as Land Surveyor, En

8、gineering Surveyor or Hydrographic Surveyor for example, are commonly used by practitioners to more clearly describe and market their specialized expertise. （更清楚的工作描 述就如如土地测量员、工程测量员和水道测量员，一般被从业者用来更准确的描述他们的专门技术。） The term geomatics is a recent creation to convey the true collective and scientific nat

9、ure of these related activities and has the flexibility to allow for the incorporation of future technological developments in these fields.（geomatics 这个术语是个新词，表达了实体集合和它们相关 联的活动的自然科学，并使这些领域的未来技术发展的结合成为可能。 ） Adoption of the term also allows a coherent marketing of the profession to industry and schoo

10、ls on a worldwide basis. （这个术语的采用同时也在全世界范围里为行业里和学校建立了一个一致的专业市场） As a result, both course and award titles in the traditional Land Surveying sector at many of the world s leading universities are being changed to “Degree in Geomatics”. （结果，世界上许多一流大学的 传统的测量专业的无论是课程还是授予资格都改为 “测绘学位” 的了） This does not su

11、ggest the demise of the term “surveyor” and graduates will still practice as land surveyors or photogammertrists, etc. as appropriate to their specialization.（这并不意味着“surveyor” 这个词的消亡，测绘毕业生还将从事适合他们专业的土地测量员、 摄影测量员及其他的工作） In the last decade, there has been dramatic development and growth in the use of

12、hardware and software solutions to both measure and process geo-spatial data.（在过去的十年中，在应用硬件和软件的方法 来测量和处理地球空间数据工作时 有着戏剧性的发展和增长） the use of 在使用 in 时 This has created and will continue to create new areas of application, with associated job opportunities for suitably qualified graduates. （创造并将继续创造新的应用领

13、域，并为合适的、合格的毕业生提供相关的工作。 ） As a result, the role of the “surveyor” is expanding beyond traditional areas of practice, as described above, into new areas of opportunity.（结果是， “surveyor”的角色大大超越传统实践领域如前面所述 的领域，进入到新的的领域。 ） In addition, recent advances in the technology of data collection and processing ha
