Synopsis
This work provides users and potential users with a practical guide to the GIS industry, combined with a useful directory of major suppliers of GIS products, services and information. It is designed to serve the burgeoning marketplace of mainstream IT users in both the public and private sector in both EC and EFTA member countries, as well as the GIS market that is fast emerging in former Eastern-bloc countries. Coverage includes: what is GIS/LIS?; key issues in GIS - concise articles on topics ranging from workstation technology and desktop GIS to standards, systems integration, net-working and database design; an overview of the European market; pan-European initiatives - status reports on research, data availability, standards, education, transport; current status and initiatives by country. European profiles include a selection of case studies from British Isles, France, Low Countries, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Eastern Mediterranean, Iberian Peninsular, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and CIS. The book also includes an annual European industry survey and covers international developments, including a global perspective on GIS - with particular emphasis on the USA.
