Design of the new structure and capabilities of LADM edition II including 3D aspects

The decision to refine the existing content and to extend the scope of Edition I of the ISO 19152:2012 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) is a response to requests from the international Land Administration (LA) community. This response has to be formally organised in accordance with ISO guidelines. This begins with gathering feedback...

A Suggested Terminology for Point-Like Entities in a Bi-Temporal Representation of 2D and 3D Land Administration Data

The prime purpose of Cadastral data – whether in the form of maps, survey plans or notes, or a digital database is the definitive demarcation of the extent of properties – and can be seen primarily as a decision support facility (“Can a structure be built here?”, “Where can I build a fence?”, “Should I buy this property”?). There are, however...

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...

Towards an Implementable Data Schema for 4D/5D Cadastre Including Bi-Temporal Support

Cadastral databases have unique requirements not shared by other spatial databases: The third spatial dimension must be included, but visualisation using 2D software must also be accommodated. The majority of users of the Cadastre will use 2D software, and should be provided an “instant in time” plan view of the boundaries (with any 3D parcels ...

Analysis of the Third FIG 3D Cadastres Questionnaire: Status in 2018 and Expectations for 2022

The 3rd FIG 3D-Cadastres Questionnaire was conducted and distributed by the end of 2018, with an extended deadline of 15th of January 2019. The questionnaire survey is a part of the FIG working group 3D-Cadastres activities for the period of 2018-2022.<br/>The purpose of this survey is to prepare a comprehensive inventory of the current (2018)...

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...

A Roadmap to Accomplish 3D Cadastres

Urbanisation is regarded as a significant global trend. This means cities around the world will be accommodating more population. The population demands accommodations as places for living and business activities. Cities have limited land and therefore high-rise structures have become major infrastructures addressing the needs arsing from...

WEB Portal for Dissemination of Spatial Data and Services for the Needs of the Agency for Real Estate Cadastre of the Republic of Macedonia (AREC)

The possibilities offered in these modern times, regarding the accessibility to information, electronic communication, IT technology, safety standards, acceptable economic elements and most importantly the good ideas are the moving forces that are carrying the society to a new advanced level. In this direction, also, tends the global idea...

ArcGIS for Land Records: Current Status and Future 3D Considerations

3D cadastre is necessary to display and manage complex spatial relationships. To support a full 3D cadastral implementation, object boundary definitions, object topologies and their legal representations will have to be further defined. A hybrid approach combining 2D and 3D using GIS represents a feasible, economical and extensible approach....
