Software and information technology are integral to any GI systems or projects, from the storage and handling of spatial data to its analysis, visualisation and sharing . The design and creation of software play is fundamental in modern GIS projects. Therefore, the use of well-known software engineering techniques and methods to develop efficient, reliable and easy-to-maintain software applications in the GIS realm is more important than ever.
EB: Formerly "[DA1-5] Overview on Software engineering". This concept now merges "[DA1-5] Overview on Software engineering "[DA1-7 Software design and construction" and "[DA1-8] Software and data lifecycle, archiving. This concepts are closely related to a BoK in Computer Science like SWE BoK, no need to be included as specifically in a EO/GI BoK
