<br>
Thanks for the update:<br>
<br>
A couple of questions:<br>
<br>
(1) Can you provide a pointer for WIKINDEX? Google turns up a lot
of<br>
hits (with and without a repeated "I"). I'm not clear which
is the one<br>
you're referring to.<br>
<br>
(2) Besides having the text of the bibliography online, in what other<br>
ways will it be an online resource? Possibilities are:<br>
* Link to Google Books, adsabs.harvard.edu, gallica.bnf.fr,<br>
math.dartmouth.edu/~euler, </font></tt><a href=www.archive.org><tt><font size=2>www.archive.org</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2>,
UMich, and other online<br>
repositories (with page number embedded in the link if appropriate)<br>
* DOI link<br>
* Worldcat/OCLC link<br>
* Links to translations, reviews, corrections, scans of missing pages,<br>
etc.<br>
Do you have a sample entry?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Charles<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Let me know if I can answer any questions.<br>

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>
<br>
