MUSCAT -- Regional and international experts will take part in a lecture on the applications of the Geographic Information System (GIS) organised by the Oman Society of Engineers (OSE) in cooperation with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) at the PDO Oil and Gas Exhibition Centre in Mina al Fahal today.
The lecture comes as part of events organised by the society with the aim of elevating professional efficiency and information sharing on the latest engineering developments. The lecture will focus on GIS applications and the system's technological and informational role.
"GIS is a computer-based data collection, storage and analysis tool that combines previously unrelated information into a comprehensive picture. The GIS technology works by linking information stored in databases to a place or location data and present information that can be used for development purposes," said Engineer Abdul Amir bin Abdul Hussain al Ajmi, OSE Secretary-General. "The tool has become so essential that no development-related engineer can do without. Our target audience is young Omani engineers who may benefit from learning about new engineering developments."
