Bossler Director, Center for Mapping, The Ohio State University 1216 Kinnear Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43212, United States of America ISPRS Commission II KEY WORDS: Spatial data, Elements of Usage, Accuracy, Standards, Sharing. ABSTRACT Accurate, current and well-defined spatially referenced digital data is in demand to satisfy the hungry appetities of GIS. The data most in demand is listed and some comments concerning the required accuracy of these data are related. Several major impediments to sharing data are discussed along with incentives to enhance sharing. Some thoughts on new ways of acquiring digital are provided. INTRODUCTION The title of this paper, “Perspectives on the Use of Spatial Information,” allows me to discuss a wide array of topics that are important in the information age. Since both this paper and the presentation of it are finite in length, | have chosen topics that are on my mind as a participant in today’s GIS/LIS community. In an overall sense, the use of GIS is increasing at an enormous rate (Daratech, 1993) because data is becoming available, the systems are becoming easier to use and most importantly, because the use of modern GIS enables users to make important decisions quicker and more economically than by traditional means. On the other hand, the use of digital spatial information is impeded by many factors. Some of the most Important impediments are the lack of digital data itself, understanding (diffusion) of the technology, training, 155 lack of information related policy, standards, incentives, quality control/quality assurance methods and institutional problems. The discussion in this paper is directed toward identifying the data and information most in demand, and identifying a subset of the impediments to acquiring, sharing and using these data. NEEDED DATA AND USAGE From a national perspective in the United States, a number of data sets are being created and used at an almost insatiable rate. It is difficult to prioritize these and even more difficult to develop a taxonomy for them, however, it seems clear that one data set is unique and fundamental to all the others--that data set is geodetic control. Geodetic control provides the spatial component to all other data sets and hence, can be considered to be the most important. Digital terrain
