Other citation details

There is not correspondence between the edition (revision) and the version: a version, or a single map, can have more than one edition. The date of publication corresponds to the digital data.

Purpose

Availability of a topographic continuum of Catalonia at scale 1:50 000. Its targets are the creation of a digital topographic database and the publication of digital and printed maps, such as County maps series, atlases or specific maps. Cartography of reference useful for the development of technical, management, territorial planning and leisure activities.

Supplemental Information

The area covered is a rectangle which includes an administrative unit ("comarca") of Catalonia. This area is described in these metadata using WGS84 decimal geographic coordinates, with the minimum and maximum longitude and latitude of the four corners. Therefore, it is an approximate geographic area. The treatment of the information is the same in the whole extension of the sheet. The vertical extent corresponds to values written in the map: geodetic marks, peaks or altimetric points. The temporal extent corresponds to the date of updating sources. During the transition period established in the Royal Decree 1071/2007 to go from the system of reference ED50 to the system ETRS89, the digital cartography will be available in both systems. Characteristics of the image file that are specific to the format: a compression factor of 4 is applied in the case of MrSID format and no compression is applied in the case of GeoTIFF; the origin of coordinates position in the pixel is "center" in MrSID format and "upper left" corner in GeoTIFF format. The information related to the corner points and to the point in the pixel, which appears in the "Spatial representation information" section of this metadata document, corresponds to MrSID format. This map is also published in paper support.

Statement

The cartographic information gathered in this map comes from the phototointerpretation in screen of 1:5 000 Orthophoto of Catalonia, applying criteria of generalization, and the incorporation of cabinet and field work information. Contour lines come from the ICC altimetric database; interval: 20 m. The planimetry has been updated with the most recent orthophotos and sources. The concept "under construction or in project" reflects the final reach of the project and not the state of works in date of edition. This declaration is not applicable in all its terms in territories not depending from the Catalan administration.
