[OSGeo-Edu] Book on needs of GIScience

[Ned Horning]

Ari,

They spell it "opensource" so it's easy to miss. It's also not in a context
that makes it jump out. The sentence is:

--
Extraction and long-term maintenance of feature information, including
capabilities for individual feature identification and transactional update,
Internet-based data collection and editing, metadata population and
maintenance, and integration of opensource and proprietary systems and data
also are research themes.
