The SIMAP was previously known as Digital Map. SIMAP evolves the earlier 'Digital Map' concept by making explicit the ties between service and infrastructure layers, clarifying expected outcomes for operations and automation, and addressing ambiguity associated with the term 'digital.' The document intends to be used as a reference for the assessment of the various topology modules to meet SIMAP requirements.}, }
