Geoin

Geoin is a term used in geospatial disciplines to denote geoinformatics or geographic information systems. It combines geo (Earth) and informatics (information science) and is used to describe the study, management, and application of geographic data. The field encompasses data collection (such as remote sensing and GNSS), data management (spatial databases), analysis (GIS and spatial statistics), and visualization (maps, 3D models, and web maps).

Geoin also appears as a brand or product name for various software platforms offering mapping, location analytics, spatial data services, or APIs. In these contexts, offerings typically include data integration, spatial analysis, mapping, and visualization, with features tailored to different industries and user needs.

In academic settings, geoin may be used as shorthand within course titles or research topics related to geospatial information science. It is closely related to, and often considered a subset of, broader fields such as geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial intelligence, cartography, and remote sensing. Geoin emphasizes the information science aspect of handling geographic data, including data workflows, standards, interoperability, and the development of spatial models and applications.
