Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Geography Cartography
The text is about cartography and mapping of terrain - primarily the elevation of terrain with respect to a certain reference point....

"Los Modelos Digitales de Elevaciones MDE, son uno de los MDT Modelos Digitales del Terreno más habituales, y se emplean para la representación de la distribución espacial de la altitud del terreno sobre un nivel de referencia. En el caso de los MDE, cada una de las celdillas o píxeles de la capa de información dispone de un valor Z, que representa la cota del terreno sobre un nivel de referencia.
Como punto de inicio, ****se ha partido**** de la incorporación e integración en un Sistema de Información Geográfica de la información cartográfica digital especificada en el apartado anterior."

It is taken from Venuzuela for Uk English

The starting point commenced/began/set out with

Actually, “se ha partido” seems redundant have already said “punto de inicio”. i.e. If the translation of “se ha partido” were omitted, the something like: The starting point “was” the incorporation…
