Those of you on this side of the border may have noticed the use of maps in
the reporting on the Consitutional Referendum.

At one point, with a map showing the Yes/No percentages across (most of)
Canada, one of the announcers said "Let's take a more detailed look at the
results in Ontario", whereupon the map was replaced with another showing
Ontario moved off to the northwest, a gap where it had been, and the percentages
repositioned accordingly.

"A more detailed look", in my eye.  And this was on the CBC!

This is right up there with the Motif-like 3D extruded information panels
that showed baseball scores on the World Series, and other similar visual
noise.

No wonder my computer's windowing system irritates me at times - it looks
like the 6 o'clock news.

Beside the problem of leftpadding strings in AML, I would assume that AML is
modeled after PRIME's CPL (PRIMOS Command Procedure Language), since Arc/Info
was being developed on these machines.
The similariy is nearly perfect, and I also remember having read this in an AML
Manual.

There is a very powerful GIS package well known in Germany named SICAD.
It uses the quadtree structure for storing and accessing alphanumerical
and geometrical data in one database GDB (Geographical DataBase).

The hardware environment in the past and in the present is a BS2000 host.
Soon a version (SICAD open) will be availble that runs under IRIX on a
IRIS INDIGO.

I am interested in exploring controlling a simple map displaying

The ideal program would use a command line interface and NOT menus.

The kind of functionality the program might have would be zoom,  change
display, display special features as an overlay, compute a route
between points, color a regin for Line Of Sight.  None of these
functional requirements is absolute; they are just ideas.

In the strictest sense, a GIS is a computer system capable of assembling,
storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced 
information, i.e., data identified according to their locations.
Practitioners also regard the total GIS as including operating personnel
and the data that go into the system.

You might wish to conatch Dr Bruce Davis at NASA's Space Technology
Laboratory at the Stennis Space Center.  He has recently supported
development of an AI front end to grass that allows the user to
enter engilsh sentences which are parsed by the AI front end.
Such a system could be very compatible with voice recognition.

Subject:      Re: Use of GIS in Epidemiology and Public Health

This is indeed an interesting area for use of GIS.
I first wanted to reply to the original message that requested information
on the subject but I wanted to finish reading my messages first.
Then I came accross the reply of Charlie from VERITAS and I was amased that
no activity is known in this field.

The reason for this is that I used to work in an R&D institute in
a third world country (TUNISIA located in North Africa) and back in 1990
we developed a GIS platform for the Ministry of Health to geoghraphically
represent, analyze and querry epidemology and disease information and
present mapped results with respect to demographic and other factors
for decision makers to contemplate and use for policy and prevention action.

I know that members of the team that developed the system under PC-ArcInfo
are members of this discussion group. However, I also know that they are
very busy working on other GIS projects and that it might take them some
time to respond to this topic.

I would be very happy to contact them directly and forward any specific
questions that might arise from this discussion.

While working on the above-mentioned project, we developed and innovative
item under ArcInfo. That was an Arabic font that can be used to write
messages, legends and other text items on the generated maps in Arabic.

As you might know, Arabic is a language that is written from right to left
and characters have different drawings depending on their position in the
word (beginning, middle or end of word). It is not as simple as other
scripts. A very interesting code was developed for that purpose and is
available through the center. If anyone is working on projects that can
be enhanced by such a feature (people working on projects for Middle-
eastern countries), I would be happy to provide information on the subject.

Good luck and if you need help, feel free to contact me.

Larry O'Brien

Larry died on November 12th. For the past year he had fought three
major battles against cancer at the same time as being continually
challenged by the paralysis of his legs - the result of Guillame Barre
syndrome. He was in his early thirties.

All of us who knew Larry at Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Durham,
Newcastle, and in Europe and North America where he visited,
will remember him as a person always physically prone to
illness, yet at the same time one of the most intellectually
energetic people to be with.

During the past ten years he was never a well person, yet was
been prolific academically, and most important of all to him,
built the family unit. Matthew (4.5 years) displays all of
his father's intellectual sparkle, and Ottie in particular
has been the most important source of advice and support, and
she more than ever provided him with the stimulus to teach and
research in his Lectureship at the University of Newcastle.

Many colleagues will remember Larry for his work on Log-Linear
Modelling, started with Neil Wrigley in Bristol. This extended
recently into quantitative methods in general, green retailing,
and the geography of disability.

In the near future colleagues will be planning a celebration of
his work and life, and Nick Chrisman, who Larry always described
as his closest friend, will be the source of information in North
America.

Matthew and Ottie remain in Durham. Their address is 7 Cheveley Walk,
Belmont, Durham DH1 2AU, UK.
