[Proj] Mémoire sur la représentation des surfaces et les projections des cartes (Auguste Tissot, 1881)

Tue Nov 17 09:09:44 EST 2009

Michael, 

Thanks for the update:

A couple of questions:

(1) Can you provide a pointer for WIKINDEX?  Google turns up a lot of
hits (with and without a repeated "I").  I'm not clear which is the one
you're referring to.

(2) Besides having the text of the bibliography online, in what other
ways will it be an online resource?  Possibilities are:
 * Link to Google Books, adsabs.harvard.edu, gallica.bnf.fr,
   math.dartmouth.edu/~euler, www.archive.org, UMich, and other online
   repositories (with page number embedded in the link if appropriate)
 * DOI link
 * Worldcat/OCLC link
 * Links to translations, reviews, corrections, scans of missing pages,
   etc.
Do you have a sample entry?

Regards,

  Charles

I should have said we. I, along with daan Strebe, Lynn Usery, and Lisa Wood, with some assistance from Paul Anderson, are contributing a project of the International Cartographic Association Commission on Map Projections for an on-line bibliography of map projections. We have completed initial input (~ 3,000 listings) of all of John Snyder’s Bibliography of Map Projections [Snyder, J.P., and Steward, H. (1988): Bibliography of map projections. US Geological Survey Bulletin 1856. Washington D.C., U.S. Government Printing Office (updated in 1994)] into an EndNote file.

EndNote is a bibliographic management software tool that is commercially licensed. We also have all entries from the earlier WIKINDEX attempt that was hosted on Mapthematics.com. WIKINDEX is an open source software application for the same purpose as EndNote. We are quality controlling the entries at this point. Next we will export them from EndNote and import them into the latest version of WIKINDEX.

We can either host the bibliography in WIKINDEX on our current test space or re-host it on Mapthematics.com. The access to the bibliography will be read only. The Chairman of the Commission (currently daan) will provide write access to those wishing to update the file. We plan to write an article for submission to Cartography and Geographic Information Science detailing the history, accomplishments, and future of this project. Lynn is currently briefing this information to the International Cartographic Conference in Santiago, Chile this week.

Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thanks Charles, very useful. Also interesting would be:

M. Pommiés: Manuel de l'ingénieur du cadastre. Paris 1804

(http://books.google.nl/books?id=CTIVAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA3-PA30&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=0_1#PPP1,M1)

the official manual for the Napoleonic cadastre. More practical than
most of the works you mention, but very important, as it forms the base
for most cadastral surveys in continental Western Europe in the first
half of the 19th century.
