Abstract
The origins of spatial information systems are partly to be found in digital cartography. The desire to enhance or even replace the manual work of the cartographer with digital solutions that replicated the map making process consumed much research and development time in the 1970s and 1980s (Boyle, 1982; Jackson, 1982). For the large map production agencies the process of conversion from a manual to a totally digital solution is still of prime importance and will remain so until large scale digital map databases exist. The Ordnance Survey will have converted the 1:1250 and 1:2500 paper maps which cover much of the UK into digital form by 1995, but on a global perspective this is an exception rather than the rule.
