ABSTRACT

It takes a lot of work to build a good database. Because of this, it makes sense to get as much benefit from the data as possible. This means providing data in formats that are useful to as many aspects of the project as possible, and printed reports and other displays are one of the primary output goals of most data management projects. This chapter covers a variety of issues for reports and other displays. Graph displays are described in Chapter 20. Cross sections are discussed in Chapter 21, and maps and GIS displays in Chapter 22. Chapter 23 covers statistical analysis and display, and using the EDMS as a data source for other programs is described in Chapter 24.
