·         Spatial Planning Applications

o    Geographic Information System

o    Database Management System

o    Web Map Service Servers

·         File Format Standards

·         File Organization Standards

·         File Naming Standards

·         Metadata Standards

·         Attribute Data Standards

·         Projection and Datum standards

·         Quality Standards

o    Positional Accuracy

o    Informational quality

o    Map scale

o    Minimum Mapping Units and Resolution

·         References and Further Reading

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about the project or the Integrated Spatial Planning Toolkit, your input is much appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,
