SCOPE OF THE WORK 
SICA II 
1. PGI shall design the system, supply the equipment described in figure 
3 of the present Appendix necessary and required to carry out the 
project and provide technical assistance and basic training in Canada 
and in Venezuela for equipment operation and maintenance as well as 
specialized training for the selected applications for the MARNR 
personnel. 
The project includes four sub-systems with the following objectives: 
1) the updating of existing 1:100 000 topographic maps: 
2) the creation of a digital cartographic database which comprises 
the following: the digitization, editing, formatting and storage 
in digital form of some of the planimetric details contained in 
updated 1:100 000 topographic maps, and of the topographic 
details from existing 1:250 000 - scale maps (1:500 000 maps 
will be substituted when the former are not available); 
3) the creation of digital and printed regional meteorological maps 
from the existing hydrologic and météorologie databases; 
4) the initiation of demonstration projects and related studies on 
the integration of remote sensing with a geographic information 
system (GIS) to produce new thematic maps and value-added 
information. 
PGI work consists of the same general activities for the four 
subsystems :
