Kuyini Ukuhlaziywa Kwesikhala?
Ukuhlaziywa kwendawo kungenye yezindlela ezisemthethweni ezifunda izinto zisebenzisa izakhiwo zazo ze-topological, geometric, noma ezendawo. Ukuhlaziywa kwendawo kuhlanganisa amasu ahlukahlukene asebenzisa izindlela ezahlukene zokuhlaziya, ikakhulukazi izibalo zendawo. Ingasetshenziswa emikhakheni ehlukahlukene njenge-astronomy, ngezifundo zayo zokubekwa kwemithala emkhathini, noma kubunjiniyela bokukhiqiza i-chip, ngokusetshenziswa kwayo kwama-algorithm "endaweni nomzila" ukwakha izakhiwo eziyinkimbinkimbi zokuxhuma izintambo. Ngomqondo obanzi, ukuhlaziywa kwendawo ukuhlaziywa kwe-geospatial, inqubo esetshenziselwa izakhiwo esikalini somuntu, ikakhulukazi ekuhlaziyweni kwedatha yezwe. Ingasetshenziswa futhi ku-genomics, njengemininingwane ye-transcriptomics.  Kuvela izinkinga eziyinkimbinkimbi ekuhlaziyweni kwendawo, eziningi zazo ezingachazwanga ngokucacile noma ezixazululwe ngokuphelele, kodwa zakha isisekelo socwaningo lwamanje. Okubaluleke kakhulu kulokhu inkinga yokuchaza indawo yezindawo ezihlolwayo. Ukuhlukaniswa kwamasu okuhlaziywa kwendawo kunzima ngenxa yenani elikhulu lemikhakha ehlukene yocwaningo ehilelekile, izindlela ezihlukile eziyisisekelo ezingakhethwa, kanye namafomu amaningi idatha engayithatha.
