Sažetak
Geographic names exist in our environment helping us to locate, define, describe and distinguish various geographic objects. They are dependent and connected to the cultural and political influences and are continuously changed and accommodated. The collection, notification and storage of geographic names have been usual tasks in map preparation for the centuries. Nowadays, maps became one of the main sources and on the other side, one of the main medias for publishing country toponyms. Although, the responsibility in creation of the official maps and topographic databases belongs to the geodesists, toponymy itself must be treated multidisciplinary. State Geodetic Administration and Croatian Geodetic Institute of the Republic of Croatia are in stage of starting the second phase of TOPONIMIS project which will prepare all necessary preconditions for creation of the national toponymc database.
