8 Base Map Data Model Inventory of USGS map features for multiple scales 1:24,000, 1:63,360, 1:100,000, 1:250,000, 1:500,000 Cartographic Feature Type (CFT) approach 7

9 (Cartographic) Feature Types DLM vs DCM/ GIS & Mapping vs. only Mapping Complex Domain Feature codes + attribute codes Derived from VVTID approach 8

10 Cartography Table(s) Purpose: Assign cartographic rules for each representation based on feature types Uses: Look Up Table for: Hydrating the data model Setting symbol and label specifications Content Feature codes + attribute codes CFTID Symbol and labeling specifications Style specification Alternate symbology and labeling Query Strings for filtering and labeling (a.k.a. Generalization) 9

11 Hydrating the Data Model Feature Code and Attribute Code Combinations USGS DLG Data Entity labels and attributes Same codes for all scales VMAP Data FACC codes Calculate CFT Tool 10

12 Symbolization, Labeling & Styles For specific map products For multiple map products For different scales of maps Arc 9.0 capability Styles, layers, Label Manager, Maplex, Variable- Depth Masking, etc. Arc 9.1 Capability Representation capabilities representation classes with representation rules, geometry filters, overrides 11

13 Supporting Elements of the Base Map Data Model Data Geoprocessing Tools and Models Calculate CFT Tool, Hillshading, Append 9.0 Tables Carto LUT, Related Symbol LUTs Layers Styles USGS Topo, Recreation Page templates Multiple scales, multiple purposes 12

15 Revision 14

16 Insights Develop data model based on requirements for specified output Digital Landscape Model (DLM) and Digital Cartographic Model (DCM) 15

17 Future Directions What we want to do is to put the power back in the hands of the cartographers allowing them the freedom to override the decisions that the computer made in order to provide absolute clarity. It s about letting the cartographer put the art back into cartography where it s needed. Representation feature classes and layers Generalization Symbolization 16
