GLOBAL MAP DATA SET OF MACEDONIA \& GLOBAL MAPPING PROJECT
Abstract
Global mapping is a international collaborative initiative through voluntary participation of national mapping organizations of the world, aiming to develop globally homogeneous geographic data set at the ground resolution of 1km, and to establish concrete partnership among governments, NGOs, private sectors, data providers and users to share information and knowledge for sound decision-making. The primary objective of Global Map project is to contribute to the sustainable development through the provision of base framework geographic dataset, which is necessary to understand the current situation and changes of environment of the world. The purpose of the Global Map is to accurately describe the present status of the global environment in international cooperation of respective National Mapping Organizations (NMOs) of the world. International Steering Committee for Global Mapping (ISCGM) has been playing a central role in the development of the Global Map data sets. It was established in February 13,1996 in Tsukuba Japan by the participants of the Preparatory Meeting of the ISCGM, and its First Meeting was held in February 14, 1996. The Global Map data sets produced by converting existing geographic information into Global Map Specifications (Global Map version 0) and country- specific data sets for 21 countries developed by respective NMOs are currently distributed to the public through internet web site www.iscgm.org. At March 08th 2006, at the web page of International Steering Committee for Global Mapping was published the Global Map data of Macedonia. This data is open for all governmental institutions, private sector and users for non-commercial uses.
