Conclusion

[20]  We have briefly examined some elements of the technology of network analytical GIS GeoProcessor 2.0, GeoTime II and COMPASS V. At the time of the analysis these systems can download for processing data and plug-ins, distributed either in telecommunication systems or on a user's PC. The described examples of spatial and spatio-temporal analysis provide the evidence of the efficiency of application of the above mentioned systems for solving relatively complicated research tasks in the Earth sciences.

[21]  At the present time the number of new sources of digital GI is increasing, which has both the spatial and temporal components. This is related in the first place to the development of means of monitoring of natural and socio-economic processes. One of the most important initiatives in this field is the Project of setting up of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), designed for forthcoming decades, which is being developed with the aim of better understanding and solving global problems of the environment and economics. These tendencies require modern geoinformation technologies of storing, transferring and processing of huge masses of data, representing researched processes in time and space. In the basic version of the geoinformation distributed environment "Electronic Earth'' first steps towards this direction have been made.
