Geospatial Technology
Geospatial encompasses
in itself anything and
everything that is
geo-referenced and spatial
in its characteristic and
content
Geospatial Industry
‘Geospatial industry’
constitutes everyone and
everything associated with
the science, technology and
application of geospatial data
Evolution
The scientific investigations of
1950s and 1960s resulted in the
technology developments in
1970s and 1980s, which further
went through a process of public
scrutiny and policy reforms in
1990s and ultimately culminated
in making itself an infrastructure
in the 21st century
