Geoscientific information system” and “GSIS” appear preferable to the alternatives because they offer some parallelism to the widely defined geographic information systems. The need for the acronym “GSIS” has been questioned because many consider these geoscientific information systems as providing nothing more than support for standard GIS functions in a three-dimensional context. ” The concept of a geoscientific information system includes more than support for a three-dimensional geometry. When attempting to define, model, or visualize subsurface conditions, the geoscientist is faced with extremely sparse data, considerable complexity in subsurface conditions, and various types of discontinuities.
