Objective
Geographic and cartographic information plays a strategic role in industrial, administrative and public areas such as urban planning and the planning of public telecommunication networks or tourist information services. This type of information is very complex to handle and consult because it mixes various layers of graphic data and non-graphic databases containing the relevant commercial, technical or legal information.
The full-scale INCH project aimed at the design of workstations for cartographic information systems with a high level of usability. This remains a challenge for information technology R&D.
Geographic and cartographic information plays a strategic role in industrial, administrative and public areas such as urban planning of public areas such as urban planning and the planning of public telecommunication networks or tourist information services. This type of information is very complex to handle and consult because it mixes various layers of graphic data and nongraphic databases containing the relevant commercial, technical or legal information.
The full scale intelligent charts (INCH) projects aimed at the design of workstations for cartographic information systems with a high level of usability. This remains a challenge for information technology research and development. The following activities were undertaken in the exploratory action phase: market analysis from both the commercial and technical point of view and user requirement analysis and creation of a demonstrator for a new generation of information services suitably derived from a combination of chart and information databanks. This 1-year exploratory action has formed a sound commercial and technical basis for a full scale project on intelligent charts.
The work has been established to include various cities and is now continuing in the ESPRIT III project 6339, GEOWORKS, in the information processing systems and software area of the programme.
