Geospatial Technology Convergence GIS is at the hub of integration
• Topological – how features relate to each other
• Attribute – non-graphical information about features
• Spatial – nearness to the true position
• Temporal – how current is it
• Relative – how accurate are things relative to each other
• Feature Identification – is it what we say it is
