The National Topographic Data Base(NTDB) is a digital data base developed by Geomatics Canada. It covers the entire Canadian landmass and contains the features normally found on topographic maps at the scales of 1 : 50 000 and 1 : 250 000 : hydrography, hypsography(contours), vegetation, the road network, roads, the rail network, the electric power network, designated area, land form, wetlands, and manmade features. 2, record 2, English, - National%20Topographic%20Data%20Base

La Base nationale de données topographiques (BNDT) est une base de données numériques développée par Géomatique Canada. Elle couvre l'ensemble du territoire canadien et comprend les éléments qu'on retrouve habituellement sur une carte topographique aux échelles de 1/50 000 et de 1/250 000 : l'hydrographie, l'hypsographie (courbes de niveau), la végétation, le réseau routier, les chemins, le réseau ferroviaire, le réseau énergétique, les aires désignées, le relief et les formes, les sols saturés (terres humides) et les constructions. 2, record 2, French, - Base%20nationale%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20topographiques

This workshop focuses on the GPS positioning system as a tool for the collection of spatially referenced data, similar to those used by a GIS. The basic concepts of a GPS will be presented. As well, steps and methods required to integrate GPS data with a GIS will be outlined. With the assistance of the GPS/GIS "GIS Mobile" of NovAtel Inc., the presentation will include the following : the definition of data dictionaries : the operation of GPS receivers; the calculation of differential corrections; the calculation of positions; the use of precise clock and precise orbits; the validation of data; cartographic projections; and, the integration of these data with a GIS. Finally, an example of updating the federal government's NTDB, supported by a GPS/GIS, will be features.

Cet atelier présentera le système de positionnement GPS comme un outil de collecte de données à référence spatiale telles qu'utilisées par les Systèmes d'Information Géographique (SIG). Les concepts de base du système GPS y seront sommairement présentés. Par la suite, les étapes et méthodes requises pour intégrer les données GPS au SIG seront détaillées. Entre autres, à l'aide du système GPS/SIG «GIS Mobile» de NovAtel Inc., la définition des dictionnaires de données, l'opération des récepteurs GPS, le calcul des corrections différentielles, le calcul de positions, l'utilisation des orbites et des horloges précises, la validation des données, les projections cartographiques ainsi que l'intégration de ces données au SIG seront présentés. Finalement, un exemple concret de mise à jour de la BNDT du gouvernement fédéral à l'aide d'un système GPS/SIG sera exposé.
