----------------------------Original message---------------------------- When I was doing research last year, RLG told me that their GeoInfo. project was dead. I think I still have the notes from the phone conversation tucked away somewhere, I will try to dig those up if you are interested. Also, regarding the SDTS you may want to look at (I think) the March issue of American Cartography (here's a real librarian for ya--it has a brown cover?) It had an entire issue devoted to this and the FGDC. I am at work and the issue is at home. I will dig this up too, I am somewhat of a pack-rat and a slow unpacker! I hope this helps and that I am thinking of the the things you are referring to in your posting. Lisa Recupero University of Missouri-Rolla [log in to unmask]
