merge Geomatic Geomatics is the discipline of gathering, storing, processing, and delivering of geographygeographic information. This broad term applies both to science and technology, and integrates the following more specific disciplines and technologies:geodesysurveyingmappingpositioningnavigationcartographyremote sensing photogrammetrygeographic information systems global positioning systemThe term geomatics is fairly young, apparently being coined by B. Dubuisson in 1969. It is commonly defined to include the tools & techniques used in land surveying, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and related forms of earth mapping. Originally used in Canada, the term geomatics has been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and many other international authorities, although some (especially in the United States) have shown a preference for the term “geospatial technology”. The precise definition of geomatics is still in flux. A good definition can be found on the University of Calgary's web page !http://www.geomatics.ucalgary. ca/whatisit/index.html::" Geomatics? Engineering is a modern discipline, which integrates acquisition, modelling, analysis, and management of spatially referenced data, i.e. data identified according to their locations. Based on the scientific framework of geodesy, it uses terrestrial, marine, airborne, and satellite-based sensors to acquire spatial and other data. It includes the process of transforming spatially referenced data from different sources into common information systems with well-defined accuracy characteristics."The rapid progress, and increased visibility, of geomatics since 1990s has been made possible by advances in computer technology, computer science, and software engineering, as well as airborne and space observation technologies.

Applicants must comply with the academic requirements, the term of articles and pass the professional examinations set out by the Academic and Experience Requirements Committee for their particular branch. All members are entitled to use the designation OLS or OLIP (Ontario Land Information Professional). Although the C of R branches of surveying are not regulated by law, practitioners in these branches who are members of the AOLS are indicating that they belong to a professional organization and are governed by a code of ethics and standards of !practice.es:GeomáticaCategory :CartographyCategory:Geography DEBUG REDIRECT (geomatics)
