A new format proposal

The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) National Committee on Digital Cartographic Data Standards has been chartered by the National Bureau of Standards to recommend a format for the interchange of digital cartographic data. The committee presented the format concept at the spring 1985 ACSM meeting in Washington, DC. It is the intent that this concept be reviewed by the concerned public, who are asked to provide reactions to the committee.
