A Map Production and Information Management System
This paper describes the Cartographics Production System (CPS) that has been developed by T-Kartor Sweden AB using ArcInfo and ArcView. CPS is a system developed for map production with a database-driven approach to cartography. In CPS, data are stored and managed in a master database. Data can be selected and extracted from the master database in order to create one or several product databases. Cartographic enhancement will be made in the product database. We have used ArcStorm to maintain the master database and can keep track of features that are added or deleted from the database. T-Kartor has focused on creation of a production system with user control, work flow control, and quality control to force the user to work in the right order and do some quality control. The CPS production line starts with database design and, building up a database, ends with files ready for the creation of prepress films. CPS provides tools for cartographic enhancements. Almost all editing functions for all
ArcInfo feature classes are integrated in CPS. The time for database-driven cartography is now!
