In contrast to traditional administrative information systems, the geometric nature of the information requires specific attention when handling this information. In this Dagstuhl seminar representatives from different disciplines, namely Computer Science, Cartography, Geography, Geodesy, Image Processing, and Cognitive Psychology are brought together in order to exchange ideas and solve open problems.
