| | Amazon GIS - GIS at the Smithsonian Institution |
 | | An exhibition, titled The Power of Maps, concerning cartography as a medium and a metaphor for understanding the world and our place in it, took place at the Cooper-Hemitt Museum from October 1992 to March 1993, and was repeated at SI's International Gallery from November 1993 through January 1994. |
 | | A variety of historic and contemporary maps were presented, illustrating how maps are researched and compiled, designed and structured (map language), updated, and analyzed. |
 | | GIS mapping and spatial analytical technology, operations, and applications all but require cooperative efforts that at a minimum entail sharing information and digital data sets, and subsequently coordinating their processing, combination, and analysis. |
