1.3 What is geocomputation?

• Start with Stan Openshaw:

“GeoComputation is about using the various different types of geodata and about developing relevant geo-tools within the overall context of a ‘scientific’ approach.”

• Authors include: reproducibility and collaboration:

working with geographic data in a computational way, focusing on code, reproducibility and modularity.

• Part of Geography, expanding the tools used

• GIS (geographical information system/science), geomatics, geoinformatics, spatial information science, geographical data science, spatial data science (not mention by the authors) : more overlaps than difference.
