Abstract

Croatian project Cartographic Data Model (KMP) has been started as a component of the STOKIS (SGA, 1995, Official Topographic and Cartographic Information System) project. The cartographic data model conforms to CROTIS (Topographic Information System of the Republic of Croatia). It enables the generation of the cartographic database from topographic one. Classification of data is performed by logical grouping of objects and depends on geometry, type and properties of features. The cartographic data model describes structure of cartographic database and all attributes, categories, types and fields. Description of geometry and exchange of data is performed according to the specification of ISO Standards, adapted by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics and OpenGIS Consortium. Creation of the cartographic data model is the basis for the creation of cartographic database. The next step is direct implementation of vector model that contains graphic and alphanumeric elements. The cartographic key must stay identical to TK25 and maps of other scales.
