  OFFICE MEMO          NCGIA GIS Bibliographies               Date:9/26/92
We have updated the GIS bibliographies at the NCGIA ftp site
(ncgia.ucsb.edu).  The binary "GIS91.lib" file has been replaced by a
"GIS91.hqx" file that contains a binhexed, stuffed EndNote Plus file
usable on the MacIntosh. Users will need to download this file in
binary mode, then use "StuffIt" software to retrieve the EndNote Plus
file.  We have also replaced the gis91 refer format file with a refer format
file corrected by Dana Jacobsen.

We have included a supplement to the 1991 GIS bibliography called
"gis91sup."  These files contain additional 1991 references pulled
from the Proceedings of the 1991 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for
Transportation Symposium.  The supplementary bibliography is
available in Mac stuffed format (".hqx"), text (".txt"), postscript (".ps"),
refer (".ref") or procite (".pro") formats.  The supplement may be updated as
later sources become available.

We have also placed preliminary 1992 bibliographic citations for the AM/FM,
European GIS (EGIS), the Symposium on Spatial Data Handling, and URISA
conferences in the directory "pub/biblio/1992."  These citations will be
updated at a later date as more sources become available to us.  The citations
are available in the formats described above.

Subject:      Re: archaeology

I'm an archaeologist, very interested in learning what others are doing
with GIS.  I'm using GRASS to model how the countryside was exploited
in classical Euboea (Greece, especially ca. 5th c. B.C.) in relation to
present geography (topography, land use, etc.)

I have no experience with IDRISI, but would like to know about any work
you might do.

Also:  if you're not familiar with the annual Computer Applications in
Archaeology (CAA) conference, you might want to check those out.  They're
usually published in the BAR international series, and in recent years
have had lots of discussion of GIS.  (Well, the last two years, anyway.)
(And come to think of it, the full title of the conference may still be
Computer and Quantitative Applications in Archaeology, although it's
usually abbreviated CAA.)

Best wishes.

Well - I don't have an official definition, but the way GeoVision uses it
refers to LARGE GIS installations with strategic importance to the customer
(Utility/Municipality/Government Agency/etc).

I think what we are aiming for is to have a GIS component to our customer's
main database system.  That's one reason why our "All-Relational" release is
so important - because our customers can keep all their data in thier
traditional RDBMS, and we can access it geographically through our GIS, with
its GQL extensions to SQL.

(But then again - I'm just a programmer here, what do I know about
marketing, business plans and the like?)

The Department of Archaeology at York is somewhat 'hot' on computing
applications within archaeology - including usage of GIS.  The 'main' GIS
in use is ARC/INFO, GRASS is also available and AUTOCAD is heavily used as a
digitising and site layout recording tool.

If you want to pursue the York work further, I suggest that you contact
Dr Julian Richards (JDR1@UK.AC.YORK, or t'other way about, depending upon your
mail system!) directly - he's the staff member who seems to be particularly
interested in Computing Applications in Archaeology.

coverages. The GET command in Arcedit worked fine. In fact, as long

manipulation to bring the point attributes into the polygon coverage
was necessary.

Thanks to all who replied to my request for info.

It seems that the finest resolution of crop production data for the US is
the county level.  1990 data is available from

US Department of Agriculture
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Washington, DC 20250

It is on diskette and costs $45.00. Not a bad bargain. More recent data is
available, too, or will be soon. Some is still in production. (This last
is crop data production data)

It _is_ possible to parse Postscript in order to extract lines.  Bob Mark
here at the USGS wrote and published a program to convert ARC/INFO 5.0
Postscript files to editable Adobe Illustrator format (no longer needed
with ARC 6.0).  The program, PSTRANS, includes a routine for extracting
lines from Postscript which may be useful.  We have used these routines
to convert Illustrator files to coverages (lines only).

Known limitations:  PSTRANS does not process color information.  Holes in
polygons may be connected to the outside boundary with lines which must be
removed manually.


Source code (FORTRAN, I think) is included.  Ordering info follows:

PSTRANS: A Macintosh II Program to convert ARC/INFO Postscript to Adobe

Can anyone tell me anything about the Standard Geographical Classification
used by Stats Canada? A newsletter I have received today makes reference to
a three-volume report / manual / document about this that has been recently
published by Stats Can. But apart from a bibliographic citation, I have no
other information...is it yet another "standard" for data transfer? Is it
a method for geocoding Canadian census and other data? Or what?
