Geographic Information Systems

by A.I. Johnson

A selection of 26 papers, along with the discussions they generated, from an international symposium called in San Francisco, June 1990, to accelerate standardization in geographic information system technology and the related mapping and remote-sensing technologies. The approach is being proliferating through a wide variety of fields, and its continued usefulness depends on establishing standards of methods, practices, specifications, and terminology. The contributors offer a wide variety of approaches and considerations, drawing from their applications in general technology, soil and geologic engineering, and ground water and the environment.
