Abstract

The basic aim of the National Spatial Data
Infrastructure (NSDI) built in accordance with INSPIRE
directive is to standardize spatial data infrastructure
on national level. In that direction, topographic maps
are a basic platform for acquiring spatial data within
geoinformation systems and one of the most important
segments of NSDI. This paper presents methodology
of establishing the new digital topographic map
of the Republic of Macedonia titled “State Base Map
for GIS in Macedonia”. This paper analyzes geometrical
accuracy of new digital topographic maps. Production
of the new digital topographic map has been
the most important cartographic project in the Republic
of Macedonia since it became independent.
