Abstract

The GIS body of knowledge for surveying is defined as a subset of the broad definition of the entire Geographic Information Science and Technology body of knowledge. Because surveyors may focus their professional practice on different aspects of surveying (not necessarily in GIS), the body of knowledge is categorized according to the level of involvement or the role a surveyor elects to have in GIS. Three levels of involvement and corresponding competencies were defined. The first is a routine use and application of GIS, the second is GIS specialist, and the third role is GIS scholar. For each of these roles, the body of knowledge, the level of competencies, and the educational requirements were described in this paper. © 2012 Publishing Technology.
