COMPUTER ASSISTED CARTOGRAPHY. A DRAFT POSITION PAPER

This document is a Draft version of a position paper in conjunction with two cartographic workshops sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The first of these was hosted in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation on September 15-17, 1987. The second was hosted in Olympia, Washington by the Washington Department of Transportation on September 22-24, 1987. The purpose of the workshops was to provide the DOT cartographic community with an opportunity: to see and discuss with vendors the latest state-of-the-art in automated cartographic equipment and/or processes; to discuss with their peers the various approaches to the implementation of a Geographic Information System for Transportation-Cartography (GIST-C); to identify common actions or viewpoints among the DOT cartographers that will assist the cartographers in advancing their contribution to the DOT; and to establish some recommendation that will establish the continuation of the type of forum associated with these workshops on an annual basis.
