This report is Part 1 of Volume 6 in a series of documents providing a content reference for the specification and transfer of geomatics data. In the broad field of geomatics, one of the limiting factors to the wide use of Geographic Information Systems has been the lack of widely applicable data specifications. This current work and its companion volumes describe set specifications appropriate for geomatics data management and data sharing.

The content series defines the features and attributes, as related to topographic data, cadastral data and a variety of other land use themes.

This volume relates to the 1:250 000 scale dataset. Baseline Thematic Mapping (BTM) has several phases, the first phase is Present Land Use Mapping. The Present Land Use Mapping phase results in a thematic map database that is derived from satellite imagery and digital topographic base mapping information. The satellite imagery utilized is Landsat Thematic Mapper data. The topographic data employed has been produced by scanning various lithographic layers of the published National Topographic Series (NTS) mapsheets and structuring the data into a GIS compatible dataset.

This document sets out the specifications for the Present Land Use Mapping phase of BTM at a scale of 1:250 000.

The thematic content of Present Land Use is georeferenced to 1:250 000 digital base mapping.
