LIS, what is that? an introduction

Andersson, S.

In 1978, at the PC-meeting of FIG in Paris, Commission 3 was assigned to handle the subject Land Information Systems (LIS). The Commission settled for a very wide definition of LIS. This definition is discussed in the paper. The author thinks that the definition might be criticized since it can give the impression that all activities should be served by one single EDP-system. The paper also deals with some aspects of the Commission's sphere of activity.
