The DTK 5 (Digital topographic map 1 : 5000) data present important topographic\ud
information about the Earth’s surface, which meet the accuracy and detail criterion for the\ud
1 : 5000 scale. The DTK 5 data are assured by The Surveying and Mapping Authority of the\ud
Republic of Slovenia within the project »Acquisition of DTK 5 data« and maintained in the\ud
DTK 5 database. The presented work describes the development of topographic data and\ud
projects at the analog to digital transformation period. The key advantages of derived DTK 5\ud
data structure are compared to analog version. The detailed description of contents and\ud
structure of digital DTK 5 data is overviewed as well as the analysis of the existent data. The\ud
acquisiton is described according to its development. The last part of my diploma thesis\ud
presents my conceptual proposals for renovation of database structure that would improve\ud
data management, ensure qualitative, up-to-date and accessible information. This kind of\ud
approach is important since we live in the information era
