Abstract
The SWISS WORLD ATLAS (SWA) is the most widely-used atlas for Swiss sec-ondary schools. It is currently being entirely revised by means of digital tech-nologies. This paper provides information about the organization and the workflow of the atlas revision. The automated data processing to create spe-cific map types and atlas parts such as economic maps, city maps, indexes, etc. is described.
