During the research of FACC for AFAYBIS project, 
DIGEST, S-57, German ALKIS-ATKIS-AFIS catalogue, 
New Zealand ESA, South Africa, Iceland, Austria, and 
Malaysia catalogues are examined. 
In this manner, FACC of AFAYBIS is prepared using the 
ISO 19110, TABIS, other country and international 
institution's approaches, and they are taken as 
consideration for the design. 
AFAYBIS FACC includes the features which can take 
part of designed spatial data set, feature attributes, 
relationships, operations, definitions and descriptions. 
The basis level of the classification in the catalogue is 
feature, and it is available in digital form. Nevertheless, 
all the features, operations of features, attributes of 
features and relationships are defined with a unique 
name. 
4.1.2 Metadata: ISO 19115 Metadata standards are taken 
as base for AFAYBIS project. Metadata is utilized to 
describe the geographic data. 
4.1.3 The Parameters of Projection and Datum: In 
AFAYBIS project, most of the used data is produced in 
European 1950 (ED 50) geodetic datum. 1/1000 and 
1/5000 scaled existing maps are produced with 3° UTM 
parameters. Since the 30° eastern central meridian is very 
close to Istanbul, 3° wide zone is used for the maps. 
Therefore, the errors in 3° wide zone maps are less than 
6° wide zone maps. 27' eastern meridian is taken as 
central meridian for part of Municipality of Silivri 
administration boundary and around Municipality of 
Catalca boundary (IBB, 2003). 
The core data of AFAYBIS project is 1/1000 scaled. 
Those data was produced using photogrammetrical 
methods by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 
adjacent area, and related parameters are used which is 
explained above. The data is up-to-date for 1997- 1999 
years. In the beginning, other data than the core data will 
put into the system by taking those data as reference. 
However, if the INSPIRE and TUTGA (Turkish National 
Fundamental GPS Network) projects are accepted, all the 
data will be converted into these standards, and the 
updates will be applied easily. 
4.1.4 Quality and Time: There will be two types of data 
transfer in AFAYBIS. Most of the data is the existing 
data which has been produced for years in Turkey, bereft 
of quality with the exception of some quality 
components. There might be structure for international 
quality for updating, after the system establishment. 
The temporal changes of data will be solved by 
versioning and attributes. 
Both the data groups will take place in the metadata 
records of data set. 
4.1.5 Data Exchange: GML is appropriate for data 
exchange according to the perspective of ISO and 
INSPIRE. However, this will be valid after the system 
implementation for updating and receiving the data from 
the system.

4.2 The Product Standard 
In general, the product standards are including the map 
and screen layout view content, symbology, accuracy and 
quality, documentation standards. 
Reference product will be the maps in AFAYBIS. By- 
product is reports etc... The quality of the map is directly 
based on the existing data. Although there are several 
symbols for disaster management, none of them have 
international acceptance. It has been decided to use the 
symbols mainly in use. There will be information about 
the products in metadata. 
4.3 The Process Standard 
The process standard includes the process content and 
documentation standards. There are software are 
documentation dimensions. The general processes of 
AFAYBIS project are as follows: 
e Data input 
e Data update 
e Find and locate 
e Planning 
o Conventional planning: planning in 
the preparation phase according to 
grading results of the risk zones and 
alarm degree. 
o Unexpected situation planning: 
planning according to the information 
received from the base during 
response phase 
e Response data input and monitoring 
In the project, application interfaces will be developed for 
the entire process group. UML will be used for data 
input-process- output loop of these interfaces. 
4.4 The software Standard 
The software standard includes the geometry, topology, 
data storage structure, SQL, interoperability, web 
mapping standards etc... This standard requires using 
software which is appropriate for ISO/TC 211 and 
OpenGIS standards. 
4.5 The Implementation of GIS 
There is already almost no standard for GIS 
establishment. However, Rational Unified Process which 
is followed for AFAYBIS, is accepted to be used in 
several projects. 
5. CONCLUSION 
While the technology is became the top for the data 
communication, the important issue has appeared to 
manage the data appropriately. Nowadays, the data 
management means to produce, update the 
data/information in coordination, according to the 
standards without duplication of data. Additionally this 
procedure requires a communication infrastructure to be 
appropriately structured and developed for available data 
sharing and using. 
As far as the importance of the data- information 
exchange and share between the member and candidate 
countries of EU considered, it is clear that the necessity 
of preparation of the standards is inevitable.
