Map automation using geoprocessing

Geoprocessing is the methodical execution of a sequence of operations on geographic information. While geoprocessing is certainly used for spatial analysis, it can also be used for automating a wide range of mapping tasks—for example, to generate map books and multipage map atlases, to repair broken data links of all the map documents in a folder, and so on.
