the fourth industrial revolution and allied technologies like big data artificial intelligence 5g advanced robotics miniaturization etc are driving new behaviors collaborations and policies thereby leading to unprecedented social changes the digital ecosystem is evolving by integrating a variety of data sources including real-time data improved analytical capabilities and by moving from data to knowledge services to solve real-world challenges the evolving digital ecosystem challenges the geospatial sector to transition into the four era and raises the need for a next-generation geospatial infrastructure that embraces automation dynamicity and real-time delivery of knowledge geospatial knowledge infrastructure or gki aims to provide
the critical geospatial component to knowledge and automation and thereby position geospatial general purpose technology at the heart of 4ir and knowledge economy it encompasses data technology policy and people to ensure smooth provision and use of geospatial intelligence and knowledge to the broader ecosystem [Music] gki strives to ensure geospatial is everyone's business by developing a next-generation interconnected platform wherein geospatial data from different disciplines formats and organizations are integrated in an organized and usable manner thereby developing a geospatial-enabled decision support [Music] system
