The Digital Basic Landscape Model (ATKIS Base DLM) is a digital, object-structured vector dataset. It determines the topographical objects of the real world by location and shape, names and characteristics. Furthermore, object-related material data are linked in such a way that the database can be used in a GIS application.
In order to achieve a nationwide content uniformity of the data, the basic DLM is defined by means of an object type catalog derived from the AAA application scheme (ATKIS-OK Basic DLM), which contains regulations on the content and modelling of topographic information for the AdV basic data base and the country solutions.
In addition to the objects of the object category groups ‘Siedlung’, ‘Transport’, ‘Vegetation’, ‘Waters’, ‘Administrative territorial units’ and ‘Relief Forms’, the contents also include structures and facilities on settlement areas and for traffic, as well as specific information on the waters.
The position accuracy for the main linear objects (road axes, road axes, railway lines and water axes) is ± 3 m.
When using a database, the ATKIS data can be submitted either completely or as user-related inventory data update (NBA) according to the customer’s desired time cycles.
The data is provided free of charge via automated procedures or by self-collection.
When using the data, the license conditions must be observed.
