The case for, and progress towards, the establishment of a Geographic Information System for Northern Ireland is discussed together with consideration of the possible implications elsewhere based on the experience gained in Northern Ireland. “There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” Brutus in Julius Caesar , Act IV Scene iii (William Shakespeare)
