Toward a Croatian utility registration implementation model based on LADM

This paper reviews approaches to utility registration and analyzes the Croatian utility cadaster and utility registration regulations. In Croatia, utility networks are registered in the national utility cadaster administered by State Geodetic Administration, with private companies obliged to send reports on all changes to the utility networks...

Code list management supported through a controlled domain vocabulary

Standards like the ISO 19152:2012 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) basically specifies classes and the relations among them. However, this methodology cannot catch the richness of variations of the domain, and therefore code lists are introduced as a supplement. In fact, the LADM mentions a number of code lists for each of the packages of...

International Code List Management – The Case of Land Administration

Standardization reduces technical barriers to trade and foster dissemination of innovations. Within the domain of information technology, standardization enhances semantic interoperability of systems and services. In order to achieve the potential of standardization, IT solutions must be localized to adapt to local needs. To reduce localization...

The Possibilities of Using CityGML for 3D Representation of Buildings in the Cadastre

The main objective of the paper is to elaborate the possibilities of applying CityGML for cadastral purposes, drawing particular attention to the three-dimensional representation of buildings. Technical realization of the issue is executed at the conceptual level by integration the Land Administration Domain Model, officially published as an...

Validation of geographical datasets against spatial constraints at conceptual level

A huge amount of geographical datasets are becoming available in distributed environments like Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). These datasets are very heterogeneous since they come from different independent sources and surveys and are structured in different formats. In the context of a national SDI that needs to assure an adequate quality...

Modelling of factors impacting adoption of precast concrete systems

Construction technology utilizing prefabricated concrete elements is known as a ‘precast concrete system’. In Western countries, this system has been widely used in constructing bridges, office buildings and residential buildings. A precast concrete construction system provides the advantages of construction effectiveness, high levels of quality...
