The representation of the Governmental Topographic and Cartographic Information Systems (ATKIS) data structures using the photogrammetric cartographic system (PHOCUS) of the firm Carl Zeiss is outlined. PHOCUS is used for the data acquisition and maintenance of the ATKIS-Digital Landscape Model (DLM). For that purpose a data converter is being developed which enables transfer of data between PHOCUS and the ATKIS data base via the data base EDBS. Some conceptual and technical aspects of the project are presented.
