This document summarizes the mapping modernization project of swisstopo, the Swiss national mapping agency. It describes swisstopo's transition from producing paper maps to developing a database of geospatial data called the Digital Cartographic Model (DCM). The DCM uses vector data and relational databases to represent geographic features and produce various map outputs. It also describes the source data, new cartographic designs, and Genius-DB workflow software used to manage production from the Topographic Landscape Model source data to the final DCM outputs.
