Joint ISO/TC211 and OGC Revision of the LADM: Valuation Information, Spatial Planning Information, SDG Land Indicators, Refined Survey Model, Links to BIM, Support of LA Processes, Technical Encodings, and Much More on Their Way!

ISO standards, which are actually being applied, are subject to periodic revision, typically in a 6 to 10-year cycle. A UN-GGIM Meeting of the Expert Group on Land Administration and Management was held on 14-15 March 2017, in Delft and the main conclusion was that the revision of LADM was indeed needed in order to provide better tools to...

Extensions to the LADM Trinidad and Tobago toward a Juridical, Fiscal and Marine Cadastre

A proposed profile that can extend the current LADM to incorporate juridical, fiscal, and marine components of the land administration together is developed. A proposed profile for the LADM that would accommodate the existing legal components of the Trinidad and Tobago cadastre was previously designed. This profile is now extended to include the...

Initial Inventory of 3D Cadastre Use Cases in the Caribbean

As argued in many earlier FIG publications, the potential benefits of 3D Cadastre are huge. This is especially true in the Caribbean setting with quite dense urban areas and large and important marine areas, where rights (restrictions and responsibilities; RRRs) in 3D is a prerequisite for the blue economy. The Caribbean with a plethora of 3D...

It was circa 2001 that the terms “marine cadastre” or “marine cadastral” were first explicitly used in scholarly media and at professional...

Governance in 3D, LADM Compliant Marine Cadastres

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) generally have much larger marine areas to manage than land areas. This fact provides a challenge for the country’s security, governance of use rights, conflict management and resource preservation and sustainable exploitation. The sheer value of these expansive marine areas therefore demands that more...
