Las IDE 3D: necesidad, desarrollo y líneas de investigación

Abstract

This article is a summary of the doctoral thesis developed about the current situation of SDI with respect to the third dimension, addressing future research lines and analyzing the needs and weaknesses showed. After deepening knowledge about SDI and, after checking both the need and the convergence of various technical-scientific branches in terms of three-dimensional geographic information (GI) management, it is decided, through this work, to develop a research project focused on 3D SDI. Following a qualitative approach in the development of the research methodology, the importance of what the third spatial dimension supposes for the performance of the daily activities of the human being in our times becomes clear. Finally, the necessary elements to be able to implement a three-dimensional SDI are defined, taking into account all the development parameters, both technical and legal, necessary to comply with the current technological, regulatory, hierarchical and legal frameworks. Through the work developed, it has been found that, in general, the adaptation of the third dimension by the SDI is in germinal phase, with many possibilities for advancement and contribution of scientific and technological contributions. This document tries to be one of those contributions.
