Hello,
There exists a page called CyberGIS. I've been researching this topic a bit to fit it into the broader picture of GIS. It is a topic that emerges from, and is almost exclusively used by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There is some feeling in the community that they have made up this term to try and take possession of concepts in GIS. After reading their literature, there are some very small ways it is different in my opinion, mostly that it uses cyberinfrastructure as the means for working with distributed GIS. The literature mentions mostly working over the Web, but also specifies the Internet. At first, I tried to merge it with Web GIS and Internet GIS, but I think that based on how it is employed, it might fit here best as a section.
Ideally, I would like to merge the page here as a section, and redirect the CyberGIS page here. However, if the page is left to exist, a small section on this page would probably be appropriate as well. The CyberGIS talk page is not responding to this topic, as I don't think there are many watchers, so would anyone here have an opinion on this?
