> Hi Robert,

> You may be interested in a paper I had published in the 
> SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GIS/SPATIAL ANALYSES IN 
> FISHERY AND AQUATIC SCIENCES.
> 
> See http://www.esl.co.jp/Sympo/2nd/pdf/contents.pdf which 
> lists the paper by Brent Wood on constructing a Fishery GIS 
> from free/Open Source components. (This was not formally 
> presented at the symposium, but arose from another paper I 
> presented, which used OS GIS tools & generated sufficient 
> interest to have the second paper written for the proceedings) 
> 
> 
> I have also given presentations on standards based GIS, where 
> the various functional components of a corporate GIS are 
> different (but interoperable) GIS packges. The focus was on 
> not buying into proprietary systems, but ensuring that the 
> components of a corporate GIS adhered to appropriate standards (eg:
> OGC) so the user could choose the most appropriate package 
> for their needs out of the available commercial or Open 
> Source offerings to build a customised suite of GIS tools to 
> best meet their needs. I guess such a suite could equate to 
> an enterprise GIS.
> 
> > I am having trouble finding literature on this topic.
> > 
> > Can anybody out there help me locate published studies, reports, 
> > presentations, books, conference papers...
