-- AASG/USGS Spatial Accuracy Working Group -- The Working Group's charge, as given at the 8/96 meeting in St.Louis is to: 1) Produce a general-interest publication that explains the accuracy of geologic maps. 2) Investigate technologies to improve spatial accuracy for geologic maps. 3) Look at issues of disclaimers, and the use and misuse of maps and data. Working Group members have held discussions about the content of a general-interest publication that explains the accuracy of geologic maps. In late spring, 1997, the Chair decided to work with Dave Soller (NGM Database project chief) to develop a first draft of this publication, and to circulate the draft among the members prior to a more public discussion. This draft will be written in the fall of 1997.
