----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I'm writing a Master's thesis on relationships between the quality of automated parcel maps and the resulting parcel-based benefits - within local government. I haven't found much in the literature about this topic, and would appreciate your help. Specifically, I'm looking for methods of measuring the quality of digital parcels, and methods of measuring parcel-based benefits. If you know of any published literature, conference papers, or informal studies about this topic, I would love to hear about them, or also any individuals that have experience in this area. Please reply to me directly. Thanks in advance for your help. ----------------------------------------------------- Paul Vastag [log in to unmask] Graduate Student Land Resources Program Institute for Environmental Studies University of Wisconsin-Madison USA
