This paper presents the application of ontologies in the field of real estate
cadastre. Ontologies can be seen as a form of metadata that provide a higher
level of interoperability and integration ...within the Spatial Data
Infrastructure, not only on the syntax level but on the semantic level as
well. The application of ontologies in this domain is based on domain
ontology for cadastre developed on top of the Land Administration Domain
Model defined in ISO 19152 standard. The use of ontologies is shown on the
several examples including data integration of the Serbian national cadastre
and the INSPIRE cadastral parcels, and integration of OGC based geospatial
services and other Web services in cadastral systems. The introduction of
semantics in the cadastral systems provide many opportunities in terms of
cadastral data and services integration on national and international level,
and also in connecting with many other organizations that are users of such
systems. These opportunities are reflected in the fact that terms are given
well-defined explicit meaning and when based on formal ontology automatic
reasoning can be used to infer the new knowledge.

New South Wales is embarking on a major reform program named Cadastre NSW. This reform aims to move to a single source of truth for the digital representation of cadastre. The current lack of a ...single source cadastre has hindered users from government and industry due to duplication of effort and misalignment between databases from different sources. For this reform to be successful, there are some challenges that need to be addressed. “Cadastre 2034 – Powering Land & Real Property” (2015) published by the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) identifies that current cadastres do not represent real property in three dimensions. In future vertical living lifestyles will create complex property scenarios that the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) will need to contend with. While the NSW DCDB currently holds over 3 million lots and 5 million features, one of its limitations is that it does not indicate land ownership above or below the ground surface. NSW Spatial Services is currently capturing survey plans into LandXML format. To prepare for the future, research is being undertaken to also capture multi-level Strata Plans through a modified recipe. During this research, multiple Strata Plans representing a range of ages and development types have been investigated and converted to LandXML. Since it is difficult to visualise the plans in a two dimensional format, quality control purposes require a method to display these plans in three dimensions. Overall investigations have provided Spatial Services with enough information to confirm that the capture and display of Strata Plans in the LandXML format is possible.
Los Sitios Reales constituyen espacios de características especiales que en muchas ocasiones no quedaron recogidos en los catastros históricos. No es el caso del catastro de Ensenada que, salvo los ...cinco de jornada, recogió estos espacios, así como los bienes y rentas de la Corona. En este trabajo abordamos el estudio de tres Sitios Reales menores (el Alcázar, los Reales Alcázares y la Alhambra) y los restantes bienes del Rey localizados en las ciudades de Toledo, Sevilla y Granada.AbstractThe Royal Sites became places of special characteristics which in many occasions were not recorded in the historical cadastres. It is not the case of the Ensenada cadastre that, except for the five major Royal Sites, recorded those places as well as the goods and rents of the Crown. In this paper we study three minor Royal Sites (the Alcázar, Royal Alcazares, the Alhambra Royal Fortress) and the rest of the King’s properties located in the cities of Toledo, Seville and Granada.
La Ley de Medición del Territorio de 1859 y sus repercusiones geográficas: La Ley de Medición del Territorio de 1859 reguló la cartografía oficial española durante la segunda mitad del siglo xix. El ...aspecto más característico de la citada ley fue la fusión de los trabajos topográficos y catastrales, que fueron encomendados a un mismo organismo de la Administración civil: la Junta General de Estadística. Este artículo estudia los motivos y el desarrollo de la Ley de Medición del Territorio.

► ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) applications. ► A novel approach for comparing cadastral management systems based on LADM. ► LADM layouts of vertical divided co-ownership ...(condominium). ► A compare analysis of Quebec (Canada) and Alsace-Moselle (France) condominium.
This paper proposes an original approach for comparing cadastral management systems, more specifically, the conceptual modeling used to spatially represent vertical divided co-ownership (usually equivalent to the condominium). The comparison is based on the ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) specification, an international standard recently adopted by ISO. The LADM comparison is applied between Quebec (Canada) and Alsace Moselle (France) condominium units. Specific attention is paid to the third geometric dimension of the spatial representation used in each jurisdiction. The study includes the creation of LADM layouts for condominium units in Quebec and Alsace Moselle and a comparative analysis. The paper discusses the advantages and limitations of using LADM layouts to undertake such comparisons and gives advices to produce similar analysis for others cadastral systems.
LADM schematization certainly made the comparison between Quebec and French condominium units easier, more concise and clearer. The formal description of common set of concepts and terms such as proposed by LADM allows us to quantify the similarities and differences, and potentially move towards the “automatic” creation of a matching file between both systems. One of the main advantages is the graphical views resulting from the schematization process that permit visual comparison where both systems can now be compared side by side, class by class, attribute by attribute. The use of the LADM specification is, however, not evident and requires quite a few skills in data modeling. The LADM documentation is somewhat technical and lacking in official definition. It required time to comprehend the documentation, and some LADM classes, attributes or relationships are ambiguous and still difficult to match with both systems.
Topological models in Euclidean space are difficult for spatial analysis because of the lack of direct representation of geometric three-dimensional (3D) object information. A 3D cadastral data model ...in the form of boundary representation based on conformal geometric algebra (CGA) is proposed to realize the integrated representation of geometric and topological information based on previous research. On the basis of the 3D cadastral data model based on CGA and basic geometric operators, self-defined geometric algebraic operators are designed using the advantages of geometric algebra in spatial topological calculation. A computation framework for cadastral parcel topological error detection is put forward based on those self-defined geometric operators. A case study is designed to verify the feasibility of topological error detection methods proposed in this paper. This study is an expansion of research for a 3D cadastral data model based on CGA.
No jurisdiction currently maintains a fully functioning 3D cadastre. Lack of legal support, guidelines, and available technologies for acquiring and visualising 3D cadastral objects provide reasons. ...Additionally, the scope of 3D cadastres is wide and ambiguous with no firm agreement on the necessity and structure of 3D cadastres. Without a clear scope and vision, implementation of 3D cadastres is difficult. This paper builds from this premise. It is argued that developing a 3D cadastral data model is an effective methodology to identify and understand the scope and nature of 3D cadastres. This paper proposes a 3D cadastral data model (3DCDM). The 3DCDM provides a practical framework to model layered legal objects of survey plans and their physical counterparts using architectural and engineering plans. The data model is based on the requirements of 3D cadastre and it provides a resilient starting point for developing a 3D cadastral database.
Water resources in the system of sustainable development of Ukraine are some of strategic and vital natural resources. However, such resource like water, is dependent to the influence of technical ...progress, and if contaminated, perhaps can be exhausted. Therefore, in modern conditions of the rapid economic development of our state, there is a need in the formation and implementation of state policy of sustainable water use, which will allow us to solve complex urgent problems (inefficient water use, unreasonable water use strategy, unsatisfactory construction and operation of water management systems, the lack of clear environmental standards and criteria, and others) in the shortest possible time. In our opinion the solution of the problems, which were noted above, is impossible without a complete display of dynamic natural environment and monitoring the impact of human activities on the integration of the virtual playback of anthropogenic and natural environment. A lot of scientists continue to study the legal regulation of maintenance of the natural resource cadastres, including water cadastre and the procedural regulation of various aspects of activity of management bodies in the sphere of ecology, including cadastral, in particular, A. P. Getman, V. M. Yermolenko, I. I. Karakash, V. I. Andreitsev, V. V. Nosik, Y. S. Shemshuchenko, Z. V. Yaremak and others. Despite their significant contribution to the development of the problems in this area, there was put out of sight a special study of the state water cadastre and cadastral process that is relevant nowadays. Purpose of the article is the study of the definitions «maintenance of the state water cadastre» and «cadastral process», as well as the determination and justification of the corresponding relationship between the specified definitions. The maintenance of cadastre is a complex notion, which represents not only the safekeeping of electronic and/or paper information carrier within the prescribed period, but the rapid introduction into the inventory of all information received from all state bodies authorized to maintain the cadastre. Maintenance of state water cadastre can be understood in a broad and narrow sense. Being closely linked to natural resource management the cadastral process does not cover all management activities, but only that part, the implementation of which contains the application of substantive law. Beyond the cadastral process there is located the part of management, which is associated with the formation of bodies of public administration. Such activity is controlled by the administrative-legal regulations and is related to the sphere of legal regulation of administrative law, and therefore is a component of the administrative process. Due to the diversity of procedural steps of the cadastral process it has a certain commonality. Including certain types of procedural activities of the competent authorities, which are regulated by the procedural rules of environmental law, the cadastral process is united by the common subject of legal regulation as a specific group of the public relations in natural resources management. The analysis of theoretical studies concerning the raised question enables us to draw the following conclusions that in essence the term «cadastral process» applies not only to the state water cadastre, but also to other types of natural resources cadastres (the state land cadastre, the state forest cadastre, the state cadastre of the animal world, the state cadastre of occurrence and manifestations of minerals and others). If you compare the correlation of such notions as «maintenance» and «cadastral process», you come to the conclusion that these terms are related as the part and the whole. In our case, the cadastral process will appear as a general term, and maintaining the state water cadastre will appear as its part which, accordingly, has certain peculiarities caused by specificity of the object in towards of which the cadastre has been maintained. So, the process of gathering information, view received data, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of a natural object will be specific to each cadastre, and so on.
The scope of the paper is to test if the online dynamic maps such as the OpenStreetMap (OSM) can be used for official mapping projects such as Cadastre, to investigate the advantages and the concerns ...of online and open to the public procedures and to identify those differentiations between experts and amateurs that play a critical role in such official projects. The specific research is focused on the use of OSM in urban areas as an alternative method to the official cadastral surveys. This paper presents the possibilities and the perspectives of OSM for spatial and attribute cadastral data collection and storage for the compilation of draft cadastral maps as an alternative methodology within the terms of the volunteered geographic information (VGI). The authors carried out a practical experiment in an extended part of the historic city centre of Athens and updated the online dynamic map of OSM with attribute and spatial cadastral data. Surveying students explored the capacities of the dynamic map in two steps: (a) in a section where the polygons of the buildings already existed on the map, they had to improve it with attribute data, and (b) in another section where no relevant polygons existed, a spatial and attribute data enhancement was required. The research was based on the various approaches that each student adopted and the freedom that the OSM offers to the users. The results show that users can easily distinguish the differences in capacities between the OSM and the commercial software; the inexpensive, easy to use and quick methodology of the OSM in contrast to the accurate, authoritative and assured methodology of the commercial software.
