Mappers Blog: Super-maps have extra tasks.

At least in Sweden there is a certain tendency to union map projects to one huge map database (f.ex. SoIK Hellas Orientering). The thereby uprising task is to handle the fact, that the so merged supermap is to big to maintain at once. Partly-Revisions must be integrated into the super-map and also  the differing history of different parts (including different authors) of the map must be documented.
It might be helpful to introduce a standardized documentation layer to each map project as sketched in fig.1.

fig.1. Possible map history layer for the Hemfosa-Map. Different parts of the map have seen 0-3 so called "shallow revisions".

Do you have a good example of an "in file documentation"? - I would be interested to see it.
