GIS for National Mapping
An Esri White Paper
June 2012
Introduction
This technical paper is intended for managers and staff of national mapping organizations (NMOs). This includes any country, state, province, region, or devolved area that has official mapping responsibilities.
Scope

related organizations such as cadastral, hydrographic, aeronautical, and environmental agencies, but Esri also publishes papers covering these markets more specifically.
The main section provides a task-oriented overview of the Esri® ArcGIS system benefits, arranged in the natural work sequence of a typical NMO.
