Subject:      Dominican Rep. Data Request

Hello Netters-

My name is J.P. Freeley. I am a senior in the Natural Resources Dept. at
Cornell University.  I have been concentrating on wildlife biology and
Geographic Information Systems.

I am currently involved with work occuring in the Dominican Republic. I
would appreciate it if someone could point me towards distribution data
for birds and mammals of that country.

I have just begun  a study of the D.R. fauna that I hope will shed some
light on the country's bio-diversity or lack thereof.  Ultimately, I
plan to begin graduate work along the same lines. My  goal is to propose
reintroduction programs for species that have been historically endemic
but presently, for whatever reason, absent from the roster.

If you know of data for the region or have some other information that
may assist my work I would be happy to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
JP

Greetings

I have just received via US mail that USGS' Digital Line Graph and
Digital Elevation Model Indexes are out-of-stock and that I should inquire
again in 120 days!!!

I am hoping that there is a way to access these indexes via the net, for
example.  I am particularly interested in large scale (1:24000) DLG's
for the state of New York.

Any ideas out there?  Thanks in advance.

 Can someone confirm this, and give any information regarding the
reliability of this conversion between Arc and Atlas?

 This is something we've been having a lot of headaches with.

 This option is not available in the workstation version of Arc/Info.
We're running v6.1 on a DECstation under Ultrix.

 I'm also curious about PC-Arc/info in general, and so I'll call the
local ESRI distributor monday.  It would be interesting to know if 
we could use the PC-Arc/info and do much of the stuff we're now 
doing on the DECstations.

 Thanks,

Date: 8 Oct 1992 15:13:45 GMT
Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of Kiel, Germany
NNTP-Posting-Host: capella.informatik.uni-kiel.dbp.de


Hello out there!

We (Computing Dept. and Soil Science Dept. at Kiel Uni) are working on 
three-dimensional soil modeling (rule based, fuzzy, ... the lot :-)
We have elevation information (contours, raster) which we handle using GRASS.
Apart from obtaining drainage information (using the 'watershed' module) we
would also like to extract 'features' from the DEM, i.e. one or both of the
following:
- Classify each point in the raster as slope, ridge, saddle, ...
  This is pretty straightforward if you simply take a 3x3 matrix, but if you 
  want better results, things like smoothing, different scales, etc. come
  into it.
- something along the lines of the 'watershed' basin output: divide the
  raster into areas of common morphology: hills, valleys, slopes, ridges,...
  
And now, the obvious question: has anyone done this already? In GRASS, maybe?
If so, are you willing to share experiences and/or programs?
I think it wouldn't be too hard to implement some rough version of vectorial
slope classification (there are a couple of good papers around) but I guess
it would require quite a bit of work to come up with a reasonable robust
and adaptable program and before we (actually I'm the only programmer in this
project :-() reinvent the wheel...

Any information at all welcome!

Thanks in advance,  Martin

Organization: Katatura State Hospital, Windhoek, Namibia

Hi,

I have a DXF file (about 550kb) of a map (of Namibia and its
districts [=counties]) and want to translate this into the
MapInfo or Atlas format (whatever these are :-)-O)



It should look something like this:

"district_n",n
x0, y0, x1, y1
x1, y1, x2, y2
.
.
.
x(n-1), y(n-1), x0, y0


In other words n number of lines each defined by its beginning
and ending coordinates.

The districts are unfortunately not marked in the DXF file so
I will have to find the beginning and end of each district
myself, but this is not a problem. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I do read this group
but email works better.


I am beta testing the EpiMap programm, cousin of EpiInfo, both
written by the Centers for Disease Control and WHO and Public
Domain. EpiInfo is on Simtel and is a fancy data
entry/base/analysis system originally geared to epidemiology
but very versatile. EpiMap will take these (or DbaseII files)
and let me analyse graphically for example from which
districts we get referrals. For this I need to have the
Namibian magisterial districts (counties) in the above format.

Can ARC/INFO accomplish this? I could get access to the
program at the local Geological Survey.


Thanks very much for any info.

Subject:      GIS sites in Southeastern Wisconsin

As a student of Geographic Information Systems I am interested in
tabulating those agencies, both public and private, in my native
Southeastern Wisconsin that are currently using GIS. With the
proliferation of GIS technology in recent years, it would be erroneous
for me to assume that only large institutions are involved with this technology.
  Furthermore, the State of Wisconsin has had an influence
on GIS by providing grants to governmental agencies at both the local
and county levels. I would be pleased to hear about/from any agency or
company using GIS in the area roughly bounded by the Milwaukee, Madison,
 Janesville-Beloit and Kenosha-Racine areas.  Replies may be sent directly
to me at:

FRANZ@CONVEX.CSD.UWM.EDU

Once I have compiled a list of reasonable length I will re-post it back
to the GIS list.  If any one knows of the existence of such a list please
let me know as that will make my job much easier.

Thanks in advance, Peter F. Schoenfield.

It doesn't do any map projections other than those defined for these systems.

E-mail is completely insecure! Anybody with system "root" permission on
a machine can change any part of a message header (or body) on a
message leaving that  machine. And on a PC or Mac, there is not any
restriction from the operating system on who could do this. In
addition, the GIS-L messages that I get from UBVM have all of the
header information about how the message got to UBVM removed. If you
want security, don't use e-mail!

To get the absolute accuracy of the DCW you need to check the
specifications: MIL-D-89009 which gives the accuarcy of the ONC and
JNC charts that served as the data source.

" The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived
from the ONCs is 2040 meters (6700) feet rounded to the nearest 5 meters
at 90% Circular Error, World Geodectic System (WGS84).  The absolute
horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from the JNCs is
4270 meters (14006 feet) at 90% Circular Error."

"The absolute vertical accuracy of the DCW is the same as for the
original ONC and JNC lithographs at 90% Linear Error, Mean seal level.

Contour accuracy.  The accuracy of contours collected from ONC source is
+/- 610 meters (+/- 2000).

Spot elevations.  The accuracy of spot elevations collected from ONC
source is +/- 30 meters (+/-100 feet)."

The 1993 ACM SIGGRAPH meetings will be held in Anaheim, California on
August 1-6th. These are major meetings in the area of computer graphics
and have one of the best equipment displays that I have seen (also the
largest!). A 30 page brochure describing the many facets of the meeting,
the Call for Papers, etc., is available upon request to:

          siggraph93@siggraph.org

They also employee a number of student volunteers to help with meeting
activities. This is quite a good deal if you are a student and interested
in computer graphics.

Subject:      turtle files

Chris,

In your 18-sep-92 message to the gis-l you mentioned that Rutgers U has green
turtle data avail on CD.  Would you happen to know how I can order/purchase/
copy/etc the data?

I am working on a project and this info may be of interest.

Thanks,

Drew Rak

I think many would ask this to Chris:
When is this book ("FAQ" algorithms) going to be out ?
