Restrictions and cost of repro- duction of spatial data by parent institutions must be minimized for a wider usage of the data. An example of such a gesture is that National Oceanic and Atmos- pheric Administration and Earth Observation Satellite Company announced that the Landsat data more than 2-years old could be purchased for the cost of repro- duction (Lauer, et al. 1991). Consideration must be given to other institutional issues related to budgetary constraints, policy matters, proprietary interests, training, and poten- tial data products for users. Acquisition of IPS hardware and software is limited by the available budget. For this reason, basic understanding of system development methodologies will help develop IPS specifi- cally suited for user needs. Policy must be established regarding systems development. For example, standard configura- tion for IPS may not be conducive to the evolutionary process for new technological breakthroughs. On the other hand, interface technology encourages such a development. It is also essen- tial to maintain a highly trained Support staff to keep the IPS operational. Public domain Software may be cheaper to obtain but in the long run may prove to be more costly when applied to operational problem solving. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS À viable infrastructure must be established for IPS by providing proper management, equipment (hardware and software), data resources (GIS and source data) 269 and training for both current and future activities or products. In order to benefit the user community, the existing IPS and their products must be widely publicized. There may be reluc- tance on the part of an institu- tion to undertake an extra step of publicizing IPS due to budget- ary constraints unless incentives are provided for doing so. Also, in order to be marketed, an ex- isting IPS must fully demonstrate its capabilities as well as be operational for the targeted products. On the other hand, an organiza- tion interested in establishing a suitable IPS for its specific application must thoroughly study the existing IPS from all points of view, technological and insti- tutional, in the context of the products desired. An IPS could be characterized by the technolo- gies used, functionality, config- uration (hardware and software), interfaces, sources for spatial data, training requirements, costs involved, products sup- ported, and so forth. A well characterized IPS by its manu- facturer, vendor or developer will enlighten the users for a better understanding of the existing systems. Users are then able to make an intelligent choice in putting together- or integrating an efficient IPS for their specific needs. It is, therefore, recommended that both the present users and manufacturers of IPS work closely to provide the future users with sufficiently detailed information on the existing IPS and their products. Also, institutional issues, as pointed out by the NCGIA, established by the NSF for broader application of GIS and Geographic Analysis, must be studied closely in relation to the IPS by such organizations as
