Abstract

New Map Production Environment in the Danish Geodata Agency
Track: Desktop Mapping
Authors: Morten Winkler

The DGA has launched a project to establish a new map production environment for topographical maps based on ESRIs software. A central ArcSDE database contains all data necessary for making maps in different scales and in a worldwide extent. The data are automatically updated. ESRI tools Cartographic Representations and Data Driven Pages are used to automate the process, thus allowing us to produce a total series of 1:50K with a minimum of staff. Maps can also be produced worldwide on the fly.
