Abstract:

An investigation has been conducted into the feasibility and practicality of developing digital techniques for consolidation and reduction to a common data base of all information required for the production of charts and allied products. To explore this question a conceptual system the Universal Cartographic Data Base was defined and developed sufficiently to provide a basis for evaluation. Development of the UCDB entailed system analysis, programming research and experimentation with sample programming techniques. Evaluation of the UCDB indicates that the concept is both technically and economically feasible. Author
