Dear colleagues
Are any local authority archives services out there already preserving
electronic GIS (Geographic Information System) files and datasets which have
been transferred to them by corporate IT or mapping departments?
Here at Cambridgeshire we have been approached by our authority's GIS
people who would like to see us preserve yearly snapshots of GIS data.
If anyone has experience of appraising GIS datasets, knowledge of GIS-related
IPR issues, views on file formats, or lessons learned from experiences in making
such data available to searchers, then I would be very grateful to hear from
you.
