AMulti-jurisdiction Case Study of 3D Cadastre in Shenzhen, China as Experiment using the LADM

With the increasing urban population, and the urban exploitation and utilization, especially in the subsurface and the air, various spaces above and below each other are built and belonging to different owners or users. Although the traditional 2D cadastre still plays a dominant role in land administration, urban resource and space management,...

The space-scale cube: An integrated model for 2D polygonal areas and scale

This paper introduces the concept of a space-scale partition, which we term the space-scale cube – analogous with the space-time cube (first introduced by Hägerstrand, 1970). We take the view of '"map generalization is extrusion of 2D data into the third dimension" (as introduced by Vermeij et al., 2003). An axiomatic approach formalizes the...

Interoperable domain models: The ISO land administration domain model LADM and its external classes

This paper provides a brief overview of one of the first spatial domain standards: a standard for the domain of Land Administration (LA). This standard is in the draft stage of development now (May 2011). The development of domain standards is a logical follow up after domain-independent standards, which are available now in the area of geo...
