Abstract
Technical requirements and standards are derived as a consequence of the mathematical theory of maps. A set of questions is posed that, if answerable by a geographic data system, establishes the fundamental soundness and sufficiency of the system. Matters relating to speed, accuracy, software extensibility, and legal requirements are seen to depend on the details of particular applications, whereas the mathematical requirements are always the same.Keywords
