The official topographic and mapping system of the Republic of Croatia
Vilus, Igor
The initial STOKIS project (1995) has laid out the plan to design and establish the Official Topographic and Mapping Information System of the Republic of Croatia, dealing with issues of topographic survey and the production of State maps. The establishment of the basic topographic database was started after the standards had been defined in the CROTIS project. The goal was to define the standards for topographic data, the basic and detailed solutions for topographic information system in terms of the data model, data collection, processing, precision, terms of presentation and topological relations. The State Geodetic Administration has succeeded, in a very short time, to organize the legal framework, contracting methodology, production, quality control and product distribution for the basic official topographic data. The accepted system is implementing the principle: fly once map oncee, using the methods of the production of topographic and cartographic databases that can fully comply with the requirements of even the most demanding users.
