Chorley Report
Definition
- Between 1979 and 1987, the British government published three major national reports that focused on mapping, satellite remote sensing, and GIS and geographic information. The first was a report on the future of the Ordnance Survey, the United Kingdom's National Mapping Agency; the second was a report by the Select Committee on Science and Technology of the House of Lords in 1984; and the third was what has become to be known as the “Chorley Report on Geographic information.” The first two reports influenced the subsequent one.
