The TIGER System: Yesterday,Today, and Tomorrow
Abstract:The TIGER System is many things to many people. At this juncture, the TIGER System has fulfilled the precensus geographic support functions for which the Geography Division designed it. During the next 18 months, the TIGER System will support a number of functions needed to complete the tabulation of the collected data and make those data useful to the numerous constituencies that carry out the myriad tasks that define our lives. Simultaneously with the use of the TIGER System to support the data tabulation and dissemination missions of the Census Bureau, work will be under way to define a framework for the future of this bold new product – and this future looks bright. If the TIGER System is to be judged truly useful outside the Census Bureau, similar planning will need to be going on in offices and institutions across America. This is true especially in the context of geographic information system (GIS) applications involving the digital products of the TIGER System and the demographic data products of the 1990 census.
