The Final Steps Towards an International Standard for Land Administration The Final Steps Towards an International Standard for Land Administration (original) (raw)

This paper presents an overview of the last (sometimes minor) modifications from DIS to FDIS. Most modifications are improvements to increase the flexibility of the LADM, e.g. the relationships between rights and arbitrary sets of spatial units (parcels). Consequently, with more flexibility, the notion of conformance testing has been adjusted. Also, the ever increasing adoption of the LADM is illustrated via a number of new country profiles. This clearly shows the need, and practically, the growing support for the LADM over the past years (in addition to the ever growing number of positive votes for the LADM within ISO).
