Abstract


Paper
Canadian Census: Geographic Products and Services the Evolution of their Development and Delivery
Track: Census and Geo-Demographics
Author(s): Bernie Gloyn

The development of a national digital geographic base for the 2001 Census has brought fundamental changes to a number of aspects of Census collection and dissemination. This includes the introduction of new and enhanced products and services that are built upon the content and characteristics of the new geographic base. In addition, since the last Census the delivery of geographic information via the Internet has evolved from being an option to the point where it is now the method of choice. The paper reviews the developments made possible by the new base, including product and service creation for the Internet, and future directions that the new base offers.
