Assessment of Workforce Demands to Shape GIS&T Education

The Body of Knowledge for Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIST (2) a lack of competences in programming and application development; and (3) a poor coverage of web-related aspects. Future research should complement workforce demands with a review of the scientific literature to identify additional shortcomings related to conceptual advances.
