Book Description
Computerized geographic coding file systems are not a new phenomenon. A number of systems were developed during the early 1960's by transportation and planning agencies. Unfortunately, they were ahead of their time. Most of the files were not fully utilized and frequently lacked the necessary financial and technical support. Fortunately, this is no longer the case. The reason for this difference can best be described by one word--"demand." There is a demand--a need in today's "statistical" society--for an effective geographic identification system; one which is well documented and standardized - but flexible in use. Organizing local addressed data into meaningful geographic units is becoming more and more an essential requirement of effective Federal, State, and local programs. The following is a discussion of one such system - the GBF/DIME System - which was developed by the Census Bureau and has now become a national standard used not only by the Census Bureau, but by many local city, county, and regional agencies.

Book Description
Both the Geographic Base (DIME) Files and the Metropolitan Map Series were developed by the Census Bureau with major assistance from other Federal Agencies and agencies of local government. The CUE program (the Correction, Update and Extension of the files and maps) continues this tradition of cooperative effort to achieve its goals, among the most important of which is the establishment of a standardized methodology to systematically maintain an accurate and current set of maps and computer files on a continuing basis. This standardized methodology forms the basis of the CUE program which makes available to local agencies the clerical procedures and computer edit and correction programs needed to create, update, and extend the files and map series. Where local computer capability is not available, the Census Bureau will carry out the necessary computer operations; the local agency will then be responsible only for the clerical phases. The Census Bureau stands fully committed to GBF/DIME, and the resources of the Bureau will be devoted to ensuring (in participation with local agencies of government) that updated and compatible geographic base files will be available for every major metropolitan area of the United States.
