About the problem of geospatial knowledge formation in the GIS (Geographic Information Systems)

In the paper the problem connected with application of knowledge in geoinformatics is discussed. The authors propose special vision and interpretation of geospatial knowledge with reference to automation of the processes of estimation and studying the terrain. On the basis of the logic-semantic analysis the distinctive features of geospatial knowledge are revealed and their scientifically applied value is defined. The paper formulates the basic requirements to geospatial knowledge organization while solving the problems where the analysis of the area is necessary. Considering the knowledge in applied, programming-technical aspect, the authors propose the approach to modeling geospatial knowledge and to their computer realization.
