Item Outline for a land information series in the historical section Atlas of CanadaHamilton, Angus, C.; Sebert, L. M.; McLaughlin, J. D.This is a feasibility study on the publication of a land information series for the historical section of the National Atlas of Canada. In the main part of the report the title, subtitle, aim, background, suggested presentation format, and a list of resources are presented for each of the eight sheets. The reason for the inclusion of each sheet is preceded by a general rationale in which the following three points are discussed: (1) This series is proposed as the first step in a strategy to overcome the “cartographic illiteracy” that is widespread in Canada. (2) Depiction of the main steps by which Canada emerged from a “terra incognita” to a very well-known land will help history teachers to describe our “victories” over nature that make our history dynamic as that of countries whose victories were over oppressors or invaders. (3) This series will be invaluable for those who need to see land information in Canada in perspective in order to make sound day-to-day decisions on the user of our most precious national resource – land. It is concluded that the production of these sheets is both feasible and desirable, and it is recommended that the compilation and production of these sheets should be undertaken as soon as possible.Item Outline for a land information series in the historical section Atlas of CanadaHamilton, Angus, C.; Sebert, L.

The workshop, held at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, from 21 to 23 June 1982, brought together mariners (users), hydrographers (chart producers), marine regulation administrator, and researchers in relevant fields (see ‘Participants’). Although each participant spoke briefly on his area of expertise, much of the time was spent in semi-structured discussion. Sessions were designated for discussion of: Rationale: Why? When? The long term goal (assuming no constraints). Technology review and critique: Hardware/software, potential and limitations (constraints). Non-technical constraints: Legal, regulatory, administrative and financial constraints were all considered. The short term objective. A development scenario. The aim of the workshop was to explore the implications of electronic technology advances on the production and use of the nautical chart. In this report, the authors have tried to incorporate the consensus from the presentations and discussions at the workshop. Much of the detail presented in the technology review session has been included in the appendices, along with additional material provided subsequently by the participants. In mid-July a draft of this report was distributed to all participants for review. On receipt of the reviews, considerable re-structuring of the report was done, but no significant changes were made in the executive summary or in the conclusions. Having followed this procedure, the authors are confident that the significant statements and conclusions presented here are a valid consensus of the discussions. The Electronic Chart Workshop and preparation of this report were sponsored by the Canadian Hydrographic Service, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ottawa, through DSS contract serial number 0SC82-000127. Mr. R.M. Eaton was project officer for this contract and, in collaboration with Mr. N.M. Anderson, did the pre-workshop planning. The authors gratefully acknowledge the expertise of Ms Wendy Wells in editing the text and in compiling it on the word processor.Item The electronic chart: A report based on a workshop held at the University of New Brunswick 21-23 June 1982Hamilton, Angus, C.; Nickerson, Bradford, G.This report is the results of the first “Workshop on the Electronic Chart”.
