PRODUCTION DIGITAL MAPPING FLOWCHARTING EXPERIENCES IN CHILE USING MGE MAP PUBLISHER

摘要

For the conversion from traditional to digital mapping, the Chilean institution responsible for national map production, The Military Geographic Institute, has implemented a new cartographic production system. For this reason it is necessary to develop an appropriate organization of the work flow and in this way to have access to the management of digital processes. The main objective is to achieve a high quality standard in production and in map updating. The flow chart designed is under constant evaluation in order to make the necessary improvements in the entire mapping process. The main benefit obtained makes it possible for the whole organization, from manager to operator, to understand the new mapping system, to strictly follow technical mapping procedures and in this way to reach national digital cartographic standards.
