Narrative:

After landing runway 9 in bur, we were told to taxi to gate. Made a 180 degree turn onto taxiway adjacent to runway 8. Air carrier Y B737 was parked at corner gate and there were numerous vehicles in the area. Just prior to gate arrival, ground informed us that it appeared our wingtip crossed the safety line of runway 15. Copilot was talking to company about parking, so I answered telling them roger (at that time we had already begun our turn in to the gate). I queried him on the radio and then later called the tower on the telephone. It did not sound like he was going to file a report but just explained the hazards involved. I felt we did not cross the boundary and copilot was somewhat distraction by talking on a different radio. This is obviously a congested area with a small margin for taxi during very short time frame. Communication chart page has a caution in bold print, but the visual depiction is somewhat misleading. It shows a solid line and a dashed line separated by a large distance. In reality they are right next to each other.
