Managing Geospatial Data and Services.

Lamont, Melissa

Journal of Academic Librarianship, v23 n6 p469-73 Nov 1997

Although GISs do create maps, they manipulate, organize, and display information, and aid in data documentation and accessibility. Managing GIS services involves not just hardware and software issues but managing digital data. (Author/AEF)
