7.2 Geoscientific Information Systems and Active Source
One of the most essential components for integrating geoexploration components and
the access to computing resources are dynamical Geoscientific Information Systems (GIS)
(Rückemann, 2001). Some screenshots of a dynamical GIS (Rückemann, 2009) illustrate
the facettes: Using dynamical data, raster, vector, secondary data, and events (Figure 7a),
embedding dynamical components into components (Figure 7b), interacting with external
components (Figure 7c), extending the user interface (Figure 7d).

7.3 Information databases
Information databases are the base for many components in Information Systems. There
are various concepts built on classical database architectures, special information structures,
