Digital Topographic Map 1:50 000 (DTK50)

The Digital Topographic Map 1:50 000 is

• the DTK50 derived from the DLM50 and a corresponding DTK computer supported in the ATKIS® map graphics and produced in raster format or
• the raster data set created from the conventional 1:50 000 topographic map by scanning. This is managed as the “Provisional Edition” DTK50-V

With increasing provision of the DTK50, this will displace the DTK50-V and completely replace it in the future.

Rules, according to which the individual DLM50-object types and/or the combination of several DLM50-object types (e.g. complex objects) and DTK contents are portrayed, derivation rules for forming presentation objects and a description of all occurring map portrayals are specified in the portrayals catalogue for the DTK50 (ATKIS®-SK50).

The ATKIS®-SK50 is an integral part of the ATKIS®-documentation and is provided as a no-charge download in the  Documentation for the Modelling Geoinformation of Official Surveying and Mapping (GeoInfoDok). Except the main document, this documentation is not available in english.
