In an attempt to increase productivity, reduce subjectivity and provide consistency in the production of the Nation's nautical charts, the National Ocean Service's Office of Charting and Geodetic Services (NOS/C&GS) recently took a series of actions to explore the application of expert systems technology to nautical chart cartography. Two contracts were awarded to private firms for the development of demonstration expert systems. The success of these demonstrations should be of interest to all cartographers because the results indicate that this technology can play an increasingly important role in cartography. Large gains in productivity and significant advances in product consistency are anticipated as cartographic expert systems are integrated with large digital chart data bases.
