Research Policy and Review 29
In 1985, the UK government set up a Committee of Enquiry into the Handling of Geographic Information by computer. This was chaired by Lord Chorley and reported in early 1987. It concerned itself with all information which is described in relation to space and which could hence be used either singly or in combination. The tasks undertaken by the Committee are described, as are its composition and method of operation, the major ‘discoveries’ it mad…

Generalisation and Realism Within Automated Cartographic Systems
The principles and practice of generalisation of cartographic elements in an automated system should not be assumed to be the same as those in manual cartography. Given the present lack of knowledge on what constitutes efficiently perceived graphics, generalisation procedures should now be re-designed as economically as possible in machine terms. Certain types of generalisation are, however, much more easily and usefully achieved than others by c…
