LUPMIS - GIS User Manual for Land Use Planning

Annex 10: Standards

Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Intermediate; specifically for LUPMIS @ TCPD

A standardized data syntax will ease the cross-computer handling and enable transfer of Map Maker projects (see Chapter 1.6). Data standards are explained in this Chapter, internal technical standards in Annex 1.2. They can also be viewed in the LUPMIS Tools at the 'info' references of the Printing Tools. Individual classes of all standard maps are listed in Annex 6.
