work division, but they also play highly complementary roles (Bédard et
al. 2009; Rivest et al. 2001).
Another aspect is the need to develop a geomatics vision by joining
knowledge from different geo-fi elds and informatics, as already done in
several universities around the world, e.g., Laval University in Quebec,
Canada, California State University, USA, and Politécnico de Milano, Italy.
In this way, professionals who have suffi cient informatics background may
be ready to take advantage of technological progress in providing solutions
for spatial data management and analysis.
Acknowledgment
I would like to express my gratitude to Leonardo Pandolfi for the effort of
implementing the system that serves as a basis for the examples used in
this chapter.
