Preface

In order to get an up-to-date overview of recent attempts to handle quality in GIS, this bibliography was assembled for internal use. The bibliograpy mainly adresses conference papers and journal articles of the years 1988 and 1994. However, please note that this list of references is not complete and is still subject of continuous updating. The oldest version can be found on our WWW-server.

Links have been added when the documents are known to be available directly over the INTERNET.

If you have any suggestions, comments, or additional references, please feel free to send email to carlos.
