WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS
Edited by David R. Soller
May 19-22, 1999
Madison, Wisconsin
Convened by the
Association of American State Geologists
and the
United States Geological Survey
Hosted by the
Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey
The Digital Mapping Techniques '99 workshop was
attended by 91 technical experts from 42 agencies, universities, and
private companies, including representatives from 30 state geological
surveys. The workshop was initiated by the
AASG/USGS Data Capture Working Group, convened by the Association of
American State Geologists (AASG) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS),
and hosted by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. The
meeting's general goal was to help move the state surveys and the USGS
toward development of more cost-effective, flexible, and useful systems
for digital mapping and GIS analysis. The principal topics were:
- methods for creating and publishing map products (including
web-based release),
- continued development of the National Geologic Map Database, and
- progress toward building a standard geologic map data
model.
The proceedings volume contains 45 papers.
