Journal of Environmental Management, 2010
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) has dramatically changed after 1992, and from then on the CAP focused on the management of direct income subsidies instead of productionbased subsidies. For this focus, Member States (MS) are expected to establish Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), including a Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) as the spatial part of IACS. Different MS have chosen different solutions for their LPIS. Currently, some MS based their IACS/LPIS on data from their Land Administration Systems (LAS), and many others use purpose built special systems for their IACS/LPIS. The issue with these different IACS/LPIS is that they do not have standardized structures; rather, each represents a unique design in each MS, both in the case of LAS based or special systems. In this study, we aim at designing a core data model for those IACS/LPIS based on LAS. For this purpose, we make use of the ongoing standardization initiatives for LAS (Land Administration Domain Model: LADM) and IACS/LPIS (LPIS Core Model: LCM). The data model we propose in this study implies the collaboration between LADM and LCM and includes some extensions. Some basic issues with the collaboration model are discussed within this study: registration of farmers, land use rights and farming limitations, geometry/topology, temporal data management etc. For further explanation of the model structure, sample instance level diagrams illustrating some typical situations are also included.
Multipurpose Land Information Systems -An Albanian Perspective
The need for more, better, and integrated land information and the availability of technology to meet this need, have set the stage for the development of Multipurpose Land Information Systems (MPLIS). In the paper we note that the cadastral maps being produced in Albania would be part of the graphic material of an MPLIS and the property register information (such as registry books, tapi, etc) would be included as part of the attribute record in text form. The MPLIS is a relatively complex system, but it covers many needs of both government and the private sector. We recognize the current need to focus on cadastre as part of Land Market Action Plan. The Government of Albania has begun planning for the future as the needs for an MPLIS are increasing and the free trade economy is making such a system economically feasible. Therefore, we suggest the development of an MPLIS for Albania.
Survey Review, 2012
In this paper, the enhancement of the data model of the Cyprus land information system (CLIS), with the adoption of the land administration domain model (LADM) is examined. The CLIS was established in 1999, within the Department of Lands and Surveys, to support the operation of the Cyprus cadastral system and has met the majority of its initial set goals. It is however now broadly accepted that the CLIS should be improved and upgraded, and a new data model should be introduced to facilitate the manipulation and provision of data to internal and external users/ customers in a more effective way. The need to enhance the CLIS coincides with the introduction of the LADM, which is under development within the Technical Committee 211 of the International Organization for Standardization and identified as ISO 19152. The LADM provides an abstract, conceptual schema with three basic packages: parties (such as people and organisations), administrative rights, responsibilities and restrictions (such as property rights) and spatial units (such as parcels, buildings and networks), with the latter having one subpackage: surveying and spatial representation [6]. [Note: In this moment (January 2012), the LADM is at the development stage of Final Draft International Standard]. In this paper, the basic entities of the CLIS are presented and restructured, in a way to comply with the LADM. After analysing the characteristics of LADM, it is concluded that this is compatible with CLIS, and can be used as a data model framework for CLIS's upgrade. Thus, the Cyprus country profile is proposed. The adoption of the LADM is a great opportunity for the Department of Lands and Surveys to introduce an International Organization for Standardization standard model, based on model driven architecture, and to gain all the benefits derived from such a movement. Such benefits include the improvement in the effectiveness and the efficiency of the current system and the expansion of the services provided by CLIS to the broader land administration system and to the Cyprus community. The new functionality includes: better structuring of the rights, responsibilities and restrictions (and related source documents); better fitting in the information infrastructure, both national (e.g. valuation, taxation, building, address and person registrations) and international (e.g. INSPIRE cadastral parcels); and future capabilities for representing three-dimensional spatial units (e.g. legal spaces related to apartment or utility infrastructure).
Parcel-based geo-information system: concepts and guidelines
Topics on building and operating geo-information systems in an organisation environment have attracted me since the beginning of the 1970s. Late 1970 in the Republic of Yemen, I felt that there were real difficulties and challenges in organising and carrying out surveying and mapping tasks during my work in the Survey Department, especially with regard to land acquisition and registration. Yemeni society and the people stimulated me to manage the surveying tasks in line with their system thinking, enabling the jobs to be performed satisfactorily. At that time, I also thought that the jobs could be done effectively with the help of the computer. In 1991, when I was appointed assistant professor of multipurpose cadastre GIS at ITC, I met several people in the Netherlands, including the experts of Dutch Kadaster, who were really dedicated to the concepts of system thinking. Working closely with them stimulated me to choose my path towards system building for cadastral applications, using GIS techniques and software tools. In those days, Prof.mr.ir. J. L.G. Henssen used to discuss the registration of deeds and titles, as well as cadastral maps, with me, laying emphasis on automation and databases for cadastral information. Later on, I began to supervise the MSc research projects of ITC students (from many developing countries) relating to geo-information systems for cadastral applications. During consulting activities in Asia, Africa and Latin America, I also experienced many difficulties and challenges related to the institutional, legal, financial and technical aspects of setting up cadastral information systems. These problems and our students' research outputs motivated me to go further in researching the development of parcel-based geo-information systems. The issues related to land tenure security and economic development are complex and are deeply rooted in society. The use of modern Geo-ICT tools in the developing countries further complicates the operations of cadastral information systems, because of the lack of infrastructure and resources. Prof.ir. R. Groot supported me in starting this research, and later on Prof.ir. P. van der Molen encouraged me to complete this piece of research work. Completing the study took longer than intended. But my regular duties as director of studies, and such tasks as teaching, supervising students, consulting activities, writing papers and giving presentations at various conferences, contributed towards the success of this research. I hope the outcome will be useful to the land administration communities around the developing world, as well as to Nepal and Bhutan.

In land administration, spatial data manegement plays the important role of defining physical characteristics of land parcels in an accurate and discernible manner. A complementary part of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is an effective information infrastructure that serves as the backbone of the land administration system. The paper provides a framework that supports adoption of spatial data modelling based on Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) for Turkish Land Administration System (TLAS). For this purpose, a spatial and non-spatial data model based on LADM is designed concerning the single space units subject to condominium in Turkey. The proposed data model is more comprehensive, capable of organising a wider range of spatial data, and should facilitate wider exchange of land information. The model is unique because it can support a very wide range of spatial units. Furthermore, the model was developed to help establish a national spatial data infrastructure LADM-based. To conclude, the developed model is a standardised model that could be used for local and international exchange of spatial and non-spatial data concerning land administration matters.
The Land Administration Domain Model Standard
LADM is a international standard for the land administration domain. It will stimulate the development of software applications and will accelerate the implementation of proper land administration systems that will support sustainable development. The LADM covers basic information-related components of land administration (including those over water and land, and elements above and below the surface of the earth); The standard provides an abstract, conceptual model with three packages related to: parties (people and organizations); basic administrative units, rights, responsibilities, and restrictions (ownership rights); spatial units (parcels, and the legal space of buildings and utility networks); with sub packages for spatial sources (surveying), and spatial representations (geometry and topology). This paper summarizes the motivation, requirements and goals for developing LADM. Further, the standard itself is described, including the development process and potential future maintenance. Despite being a very young standard, 'born' on 1 December 2012, it is already possible to observe some of the impact of LADM and some examples of this are given in the paper.
Land Use Policy, 2015
This article is the introduction to a themed issue on the Land Administration Domain Model, the ISO 19152:2012 international standard. The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) facilitates the efficient setup of land administrations. It can function as the core of any land administration system. LADM is flexible, widely applicable and functions as a gathering point of a state-of-the-art international knowledge base on this theme, reflected in aspects such as full versioning/history, integration with legal and spatial source documents, a range of 2 Dimensional and 3 Dimensional (2D/3D) geometry and topology options, unique identifiers, and explicit quality indicators (metadata). It can be aligned to the global agenda where land administration is concerned. This paper describes the context and the actual standards development of the LADM. Further, some future trends in the domain and the maintenance of the standard is discussed. This completes the scene and provides the background for the papers in the themed issue
Land Parcel Information System Using Free and Open Source Platform
Developing countries face increasing land disputes in the absence of an updated parcel information system-this system stores georeferenced parcel ownership and its value (Council, 2007; Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration (Updated), n.d.; Forkuo & Asiedu, 2009) Unique parcel identifier connects cadastral records with land use, ownership, boundary, and value that facilitate data sharing among different users. Three primary forms are name-related identifiers, abstract or alphanumeric identifiers, and location identifiers that depend upon the system and the users. Land parcel information plays a significant role to store the parcel related information systematically.
INTEROPERABLE DOMAIN MODELS: THE ISO LAND ADMINISTRATION DOMAIN MODEL LADM AND ITS EXTERNAL CLASSES
ISPRS - International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2011
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-information processing. The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) provides a conceptual schema with three basic packages with a limited scope: parties, rights (and restrictions/responsibilities) and spatial units. Certain classes are outside the scope but can be referred to. An important aspect in the development of a coherent (Spatial) Information Infrastructures -(S)II is that the various standardized domain models are reusing the same model patterns as solutions for the same situations. In this paper the LADM and its external classes are briefly presented. It outlines the advantages of standardized domain models in the development of (S)II and the importance of LA as an authentic register, in relation to other authentic registers, such as for addresses, population, companies, topography, or buildings. This will be illustrated with the Dutch case of authentic registers.
Development of a Prototype Land Information Management System
2008
This study addresses certain aspects of data modeling with respect to Geographic information systems (GIS). The primary objective of this project is an attempt to develop an automated Land Information Management System (LIMS). In Kenya today, land information is held mostly in paper form, managed manually and even the paper records themselves are not optimally organized. The process of retrieving and disseminating this information is inefficient, time consuming and cannot support timely decision making. This project represents the formalization of the geometrical portion of data concerning certain kinds of geographical phenomena. This formalization is modeled in unified modeling language (UML) to develop a database. The UML is used to capture both the static and dynamic components of the cadastre given its many entities and attributes. The report develops a prototype database that is based on the Cadastre 2014 document and attempts to customize the database to suit the Kenyan environment. The project concludes that UML presents an opportunity to render the data and its processes in a manner that reduces redundancy and eliminates duplication of roles in the cadastral data recording system. Modeling presents a simpler way of presenting a standardized way for designing the database. This study has developed a prototype LIMS using the object-oriented modeling approach. This approach provides a natural method for describing real world spatial entities, avoids data fragmentation and enables useful capabilities for managing databases. The object-oriented modeling allows better integration, data consistency, minimizes reformatting, convenient data merging and saves a lot of time. It is a feasible approach to allow data sharing among different organizations and users.
