Summary
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is planning to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Maptech, Inc. This CRADA is for the purpose of research. The Research Plan of this CRADA addresses key technology areas that are of mutual interest to both USGS and Maptech. Specific research subjects include (1) hybrid map data sets, (2) web-based map catalog queries, and (3) web-based map updating. Maptech and USGS will jointly carry out the Research Plan to develop these key technologies. The research activities will be executed in approximately 18 months and will end with the development of products for the 2002 winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. These products will be created utilizing the results of the research activities in this CRADA. Any other organization interested in pursuing the possibility of a CRADA for similar kinds of activities should contact the USGS.
