Thousands of known historically significant places and archaeological sites are threatened by these forces; untold thousands more await discovery, preservation, and development. It is a daunting task that requires the application of modern methods of data management and retrieval. The task is aptly suited for solutions based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), database and Web-based technology. I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes, in case you require any additional details, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Yours sincerely, /Cordiali Saluti/ Marzio Veneman The Netherlands ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Maps-L Moderator <[log in to unmask]> *To:* [log in to unmask] *Sent:* Thu, October 8, 2009 5:28:33 PM *Subject:* Tehran GIS data Hi Everyone, A patron of ours would like some Tehran GIS data.
