<br><font size=2 face="Tahoma">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. <i>US Geological Survey Bulletin 1856.</i>
Washington D.C., U.S. Government Printing Office (updated in 1994)] into
an EndNote file.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Tahoma">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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Tahoma">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 <i>Cartography and Geographic
Information Science</i> 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.</font>

Thanks Charles, very useful. Also interesting would be:<br>
<br>
M. Pommiés: Manuel de l'ingénieur du cadastre. Paris 1804<br>
<br>
(</font></tt><a href="http://books.google.nl/books?id=CTIVAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA3-PA30&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=0_1#PPP1,M1"><tt><font size=2>http://books.google.nl/books?id=CTIVAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA3-PA30&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=0_1#PPP1,M1</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2>)<br>
<br>
the official manual for the Napoleonic cadastre. More practical than <br>
most of the works you mention, but very important, as it forms the base
<br>
for most cadastral surveys in continental Western Europe in the first <br>
half of the 19th century.<br>
