Can/should be done
------------------

- Evaluating what is available
  Review what is available (and being developed) from the point of view
  of geotechnical applications

Contributions
- What are the data storage and manipulation needs in geotechnical engineering?
- Discuss what can be the geotechnical applications of GIS as is
- Establish soil (geotech) data to be stored (possible:)
  Borings
  Lab test results
  Field test results
  Idealized profiles
  Soil (engrg) properties
  Project file?
  Cascading file system?

- Set up file/data formats

- Generate (program) tools
  File translator(s)
  Tools for generation of data file(s)
