This study on geoinformation infrastructures convincingly demonstrates that technology is an important and far more complex factor than much geoinformation practitioners want us to believe. Three Dutch cases were studied, of which two were intended to develop an infrastructure deliberately applying innovative technology. Due to a constant stream of innovations these cases failed to bring about a working infrastructure. The third case was aimed at establishing a system 606 $aGeographic information systems 606 $aTechnological innovations 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 676 $a910.285 700 $aKoerten$b Hank$01560331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785992803321 996 $aTaming technology$93826210 997 $aUNINA
