Geoinformatics is a science which develops and uses information science infrastructure to address the problems of geosciences and related branches of engineering.

The three main tasks of geoinformatics are:
 * development and management of databases of geodata, georeferences and other GIS objects
 * analysis and modeling of geodata
 * development and integration of computer tools and software for the first two tasks.

Geoinformatics as a branch of Computer Science that deals with the development and use of Geospatial Information Systems (GIS).
