Land administration domain model is an ISO standard now

Embedding 3D into multipurpose cadastre

There is no doubt that the cadastral map provides a useful entrance to information in a land parcel based information system.

Currently, many national mapping and cadastral...

The road to a standard land administration domain model, and beyond ...

The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) is a Draft International Standard (ISO DIS 19152) and in January 2011 was distributed by the ISO central secretariat for a five month voting and commenting time interval. If everything goes as planned, ISO 19152 will be an International Standard (IS) by 2012. In this paper the road towards this...
