Cartography
Cartography has always been strategic information. The good knowledge of a territory through the graphic representation of it has helped obtain strategic interests. And I do not refer only to military goals. The maps and the cartography has been subject of study since always and have as inheritance real works of art. If you want to give you a historical turn to visit Map History, you will find links really interesting.
These days I have been in A Coruña where the International Cartographic Conference 2005 has been celebrated. Many subjects have been touched, as the development that the Geographical Information Systems are having in the public management, they are every time more important to manage a territory. Control of the traffic, property register, inventory of street furniture, location of services, representation of the net of transports and one long et cetera, are the subjects that have been treated, among others, in this congress.
It is indubitable that nowadays any public administration, appointed to a territory, needs powerful management tools territorial (Geographical Information Systems) to be able to offer the citizen a more effective and more efficient service. If we take that the technology already puts availably of the citizen into account of on foot tools as Google Earth with the one that we can blow up literally for the world, and that services of transports have applications even in three dimensions, as that of TMB (Metropolitan Transports of Barcelona), to be able to calculate ways, it is clearing that the GIS will be a key piece on e-Government. How they say in the area of territory of TAO-gedas "everything has a place".
