1.1 NSDI Updates
In late August the FGDC convened a group to discuss implementation
of the concept of framework data for the National Spatial Data
Infrastructure. The framework is the subject of an action from
Executive order 12906, and a report issued by the FGDC in April 1995.
FGDC has also prepared an overview paper titled "Development of a
National Digital Geospatial Data Framework."
One action from the meeting was to add the participants to the
NSDI_L list server so that they can discuss issues between meetings.
Participants are asked to preface the subject line of their messages
with "fw: ". If you see one of these messages and don't wish to
follow the thread, just delete the message. If you wish to participate
in the discussion, preface the subject line with "fw: ". If the
framework traffic become too large, it will be split off to another list.

1.2 Preserving Digital Information--I
(from: e-message from James Michalko, RLG, to RLG Member Representatives,
ShaRes and PRESERV liaisons, September 1, 1995.)
In December 1994, the Commission on Preservation and Access and
the Research Libraries Group created the Task Force on Digital Archiving.
The purpose of the Task Force is to investigate the means of ensuring
"continued access indefinitely into the future of records stored in
digital electronic form." The Task Force has issued its draft report,
which it considers a work in progress, and now seeks comment from the
community. In the words of the Task Force co-chairs, John Garrett and
Don Waters:
"We believe that the dialogue that grows from the circulation of
this draft will sharpen its content and help identify additional,
practical and affordable ways to contribute to the information infrastructure."
This is precisely the dialogue RLG wished to encourage. I think
the draft report supports this goal admirably. The Commission and RLG
are making the draft report, entitled "Preserving Digital Information,"
widely available in paper and electronic form. Paper copies are being
sent to RLG Member Representatives and ShaRes and PRESERV liaisons.
Electronic versions are available from the RLG FTP server and our Web site.

Adobe Acrobat version: /pub/ArchTF/Draft- Report.pdf
Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 version: /pub/ArchTF/Draft- Report.doc

The Task Force has opened a listserv to support the dialogue;
instructions for subscribing may be found at the end of the Executive
Summary in the report. I urge you to participate in this important discussion.
1.3 Preserving Digital Information--II
A report to the Commission on Preservation and Access from Columbia
University, "Oversize Color Images Project, 1994-1995," by Janet Gertz,
is available. The report provides results of the first phase of a
project to identify acceptable preservation and digital access techniques
for dealing with oversize, color images associated with text. Phase I
took 5 original brittle maps from the turn of the century, single-frame
color microfiche of the maps, and color transparencies of the maps, and
had several vendors scan the 3 versions with a variety of equipment and
at various resolutions. The goal was to provide a preservation-quality
photographic archival copy, a digital version for online access, and
paper printouts.
The full text of the final report and about 300 images of the maps
are available via Columbia's Web server, at
http://www.columbia.edu/imaging/html/largemaps/oversized.html
The print version is available for $10 (prepayment required) from the
Commission on Preservation and Access.
1.4 California Networking Task Force
The California multitype library network program is now close to
completion. This is quite a project-- and intends to link *all* the
libraries in Calfornia together. It includes policies on bibliographic
standards, preservation, etc. For more information, contact the
California State Library.
1.5 Study of the 1520 Apianus World Map
Donald L. McGuirk, Jr., has conducted a study of the World Map by
Peter Apian, published in Vienna in 1520. By surveying map dealers and
map libraries internationally, Dr. McGuirk located 75 original copies
and variants of the maps. He also discerned that this map was, in fact,
a copy of the 1507 World map of Martin Waldseemuller.
This paper will be presented 3 November 1995 at the Society for
the History of Discoveries meeting.
1.6 Francis Herbert receives IMCos-R.V. Tooley Award
Francis Herbert, Curator of Maps at the Royal Geographical Society,
London, has received the IMCos-R.V. Tooley Award for 1995, from the
International Map Collectors' Society.

3. Internet resources
3.1 GIS data sets available for Arizona
Various GIS data sets of Arizona are now available from the
Arizona Land Resource Information System (ARLIS). In addition,
the full documentation of all their data sets will appear in future
on the internet, and no longer in paper format.
3.2 New listserv
DISTGIS, A new listserv about GIS and the Internet/WWW has been
formed. It intends to discuss the issues, opportunities, and (many)
potential problems of interactive GIS via the World Wide Web in an
interdisciplinary environment. While many WWW sites offer access to
images as well as multimedia, few web sites offer the user interactive
access to georeferenced data and their affiliated databases. Instead,
what if users could remotely log on to a server, fire off a GIS user
interface, query and analyze information remotely, and then send the
results back to the local computer or printer. But those abilities
would require that all the "bases are covered". This listserv has been
started to determine what those bases are, how they can be best seen to,
and to flush out what the most current issues and hurdles are to getting
a system such as this on-line.

3.3 Glossary of Computer Abbreviations
BABEL: A Glossary of Computer Oriented Abbreviations and Acronyms
is now available on the Web making this good reference work readily
available on your hotlist. The glossary is revised three times a
year (January, May and September) to keep current with the rapidly
changing notations used in the computer world. It also includes entries
used before 1965, adding historical context.

4.4 June, 1996: International Airborne Remote Sensing
The meeting will be held in San Francisco, 24-27 June, 1996. This
international conference will address the latest developments in airborn
remote sensing systems and their applications. The technical program
will include more than 300 presentations by experts from more than
40 countries. The program will also include exhibitions (held
concurrently at the NASA Ames Research Center) and hands-on workshops.
Full registration (received before 23 May 1996) is $435; reduced
rates are available for daily, student, and accompanying persons'
registration.
To contribute a paper, send a 300-500 word summary by 3 November 1995 to:

4.5 August, 1996: International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling
The 1996 meeting of the International Symposium on Spatial Data
Handling (SDH) will be held in Delft, the Netherlands, August 12-16.
This biannual meeting is the primary event organised by the International
Geographical Union's Commission on Geographical Information Systems.
The 1996 meeting will be hosted by the Faculty of Geodetic Engineering
of the Delft University of Technology.
Following the Edinburgh approach the SDH programme committee
will select papers based on the complete paper, not abstracts, which
will be fully refereed by at least three international recognised
specialists. The programme committee is chaired by Professor Martien
Molenaar (Wageningen Agriculture University, Centre for Geo-Information
Processing).
Papers will be evaluated on the basis of how well they reflect
the cutting edge of scientific achievment in the field.
There is no particular conference theme, however the keynote
speakers will address the impact of fundamental GIS reseach. To see the
range of topics likely to be covered, consult previous SDH proceedings
papers. Some of the topics are: data integration, databases, algorithms,
spatial decision support systems, spatial analysis, digital terrain
modelling, visualization and multi-media, spatio-temporal GIS,
fuzzy processing, uncertainty and error analysis.
The proceedings will be published by Taylor & Francis, who also
published the 1994 proceedings.
Deadlines:
Deadline for papers JANUARY 15, 1996
