has: four geometric classes namely (TNode, TEdge, TPoly, 
and TSolid); two types of containers (geometry and attribute). 
The geometric containers contain the XYZ locations whereas 
the attribute containers are for the thematic values, e.g. names.

4. CONCLUSIONS 
The automated mapping and the OOTIN systems are two 
separate subsystems. Both systems were developed by using 
the UML as the modeling tool. The experiments that we 
performed have produced an acceptable mapping output, that 
is to say the UML served as reliable modeling tool for system 
developers. We realized that the system could be easily 
developed and combined since the UML permits the team 
development effort and reusability of the developed mapping 
and digital terrain modeling classes. It is our aim to enhance 
the existing subsystems or results into one integrated 
automated mapping package that based on UML.
