The Geological Survey of Austria is charged with the task of providing the public with all types of geological information to the fullest possible extent. Starting in 1990 the survey has been actively engaged in the development of a data-storage system of the contents of geological maps and in their computer-assisted printing. The current map production process employs both manual and computer-assisted techniques, including ARC/INFO1, PostScript2, Linotronic 530 and several PC-based software-packages. On the whole, the introduction of computer-assisted technology to the map-printing process, by the ADP and Cartography sections, has been beneficial. The paper describes the conceptual framework involved as a result of the experience gained over the years 1990-1992.
