Abstract
Creating and displaying topographic map of any size on a computer screen is a difficult process. However, computer graphics are used to simplify this process. Thus, for example, the visualization of topographic data can be in vector format, raster format, or printed on paper. The Strategy for the Development of Official Cartography in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina offered three functional models for the development of official topographic maps, of which the Model with a basic topographic database at a scale of 1:10 000 (BTDB10) was selected as official. This model relies on a data model based on INSPIRE specifications and is linked to various data sources. INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) Directive establishes an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe to support environmental policies and policies or activities that may have an impact on the environment. It entered into force in May 2007. INSPIRE specifications allow the creation of harmonized spatial data sets that can be used seamlessly in a variety of applications. The Regulation on Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Federation of B&H relies on the principles of the INSPIRE Directive and its technical specifications. Visualization of BTDB10 data enables the unambiguous display of data of the topographic map at different scales 1:10 000, 1:50 000, and 1:250 000, following domestic and international standards. This article will analyze the existing legal acts that are the basis for the establishment of a basic topographic database at a scale of 1:10 000 (BTDB10), as well as the processes for visualization of BTDB10 data in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
