A CIS for Northern Ireland: system compatibility is the ultimate goal.

SPECIAL FEATURES: illustration; photograph; map
The 14,000 square Kilometers of Northern Ireland territory are now
recorded on a topographic database to be expanded into an integrated CIS,
holding data for housing, population and the related service network. A
liaison committee unites public services with *n major organizations in
the public sector, such as land registry, water and sewer, roads,
electricity and forestry. The database was developed in a VAX environment
consisting of a clustered pair of 8200s and 750s. Each 8200 has 16M
internal memory. The software used is from DEC and SysSCAN. The Ordinance
Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) also established a Remote Sensing
Processing Center to receive data from satellites and aircraft. The map
archive is to be completed within 5 or 6 years.

PAMAP Graphics Ltd markets the PAMAP Geographic Information System,
which integrates to maps and remote image data with user databases. The
PAMAP system includes: workstations, platforms from micxoconputer to
superndnicomputer; puck and graphics tablet; and image processing software.
PAMAP officials said the Victoria-based company has grown to 25 employees
and has projected revenues of $1.5 million. The company has expanded its
marketing organization to include two agents in Canada, one in Dallas,
-------
Texas, and has signed a marketing and development agreement with Intergraph
Systems Ltd of Calgary. PAMAP plans to port software into Inergraph
equipment and Intergraph will sell the integrated system.

The city of Tacoma, WA, developed a comprehensive ccBpxter-generated
geographic information system (GZS) that generates multi-layered naps and
tables. The CIS database holds a description of an of the 80,000 land and
street parcels in the city. The program is available for use by every city
department. A crime analysis napping system uses the program to generate
naps showing the cites of crime incidents with near real-tine speed. Daily
crime information is overlaid onto city maps to analyze locations of crimes
and pinpoint areas of high crime concentration. The design and use of the
CIS database by several city departments is described.

SPECIAL FEATURES: illustration; photograph; map; chart
Long Beach, CA's Jul 1983 installation of a spatial data base system
(also known as a geographic information system, an automated mapping -
facilities management system, or a napping information management system)
is described, and the system's features and capabilities are explained. The
Long Beach system was designed and installed by Synercom Technology me
(Sugarland, TX) and uses a DEC VAX-11-750 computer, an RA60 removable disk
drive with 205Mbytes of space, an RA81 fixed disk drive with 456Mbytes of
space, a 1U78 tape backup subsystem, an IA120 console, three VT100
terminals, a Versatec plotter (to perform the hardcopy mapping) , and six
custom-designed graphics workstations. The system runs on the VMS operating
system. Its primary software is Informap (consisting of Infomapper,
mfomanager, and Infoquest) used to produce city maps depicting public
services and service needs.

SPECIAL FEATURES: illustration; photograph; table
Thomas Bros, has been producing maps for over 70 years, but the company
is now beginning to employ geographic information systems (CIS) technology
for map production. The company acquired a Prime 9955 superminicomputer,
two Tektronix 4125 color graphics workstations, two oonntp digitizing
tablets, a Osirrtqi 8-pen plotter for testing the system, and Environmental
Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) ARC-INFO software package, which
consists of the ARC graphics mapping ounjuteiit and INFO, a relational
database management system. Implementing the CIS system requires decisions
on how the database IB to be structured, where information is to be
acquired and how it is to be entered. Expected benefits include faster and
improved quality in production, easier updating, easier production of
-------
custon maps, new map information-based products, and standardization of
Thomas' nap products.

PUBLICATION DATE: Oct, 1986
Ocopiter-based geographic information systems (CIS) offer great
potential for such processes as urban planning, land management, and
commercial demographics; but there are major problems in integrating a
variety of data types and the secondary integration of geographic
databases. Geographic data types include imagery data, such as surface and
satellite photography, line plots, including maps and charts, point
observations such as census data, and descriptive information. There are a
number of geographic databases, but most are oriented to one application;
and the integration of diverse databases into one system will require
substantial research and work. In the last five years, though, there has
been a substantial increase in federal support for CIS systems, and a
variety of private organizations and annual conferences are supporting the
development of integrated CIS programs and standards.

Happing Information Management Systems (MTMS) are broad systems for
mapping and geographical data management applications for the mapping and
cartographic profession. By pointing to an area the system will retrieve
and display data from across the boundaries of four maps. MIHS includes
cadastral, thematic, and topographic mapping, resource information
management, and digital terrain models. MXMS requires the production of
quality cartographic maps from the data base. Computer automation has
proven its effectiveness for facilities modeling. A Geographic Information
System (CIS) uses topographic structures to determine the spatial
properties of the nearby area. Cadastral Happing Systems, often called land
Records Information Systems (IKES), combine detailed maps and attibute
information. Photographs of digitized maps, sample engineering maps,
secondary annotation, length attributes,, thematic maps, and a district
atlas are included along with sample screen displays.
