Quality Evaluation Of The National Topographic Map 1 : 50.000 : Ocena kakovosti Državne topografske karte v merilu 1 : 50.000

The establishment of the National Topographic Map of Slovenia 1: 50,000 was finished in 2005. The map represents an important achievement of Slovenian cartography; some innovative methods on a world-wide scale were used in the procedure of establishment. But, the quality of the map is of most importance to users. A-priori quality estimation was made in the editorial plan prior to the map production. After finishing all sheets of the map another quality evaluation was performed. The map content was compared to the real situation in the terrain, captured by using field measurements and observations. The quality evaluation followed the requirements of ISO standards: SO 19113:2002 GI defining quality principles and ISO 19114:2003 GI defining procedures for quality evaluation
