HSPD: Required Capabilities

In recognizing the numerous limitations of the current system,
David Battle, Keeper of the HSPD, expressed the desire to see a
number of additional features incorporated.  Battle cited the
following capabilities as being essential to the ultimate
acceptance, hence success, of the system :  

-  Retrieve drawings generated on simple 2-D CADD systems
(standard details and diagrams in a raster environment).

-  Produce detail drawings generated on sophisticated CADD
(AutoCAD, Cadam, etc.) and link them to text files (access to
vector graphics).

-  Construct links to different types of images (various file and
graphic formats).

-  Fully integrated text and graphic information base.

-  Graphic system with data sorting capability.

-  Integration of a cost effective, portable, microcomputer based
(IBM-AT compatible) Geographical Information System (GIS) to
enhance data acquisition and exchange between various NPS
divisions (Maintenance, Design and Construction, Natural Resource
Management, Cultural Resource Management, Law Enforcement,
Interpretation, etc.).
