Geographic information - Land Administration Domain Model (LADM)
 N EN ISO 19152

Annotation

This International Standard:

- defines a reference Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) covering basic information-related components of land administration (including those over water and land, and elements above and below the surface of the earth);

- provides an abstract, conceptual model with four packages related to

1) parties (people and organizations);

2) basic administrative units, rights, responsibilities, and restrictions (ownership rights);

3) spatial units (parcels, and the legal space of buildings and utility networks);

4) spatial sources (surveying), and spatial representations (geometry and topology);

- provides terminology for land administration, based on various national and international systems, that is as simple as possible in order to be useful in practice. The terminology allows a shared description of different formal or informal practices and procedures in various jurisdictions;

- provides a basis for national and regional profiles; and

- enables the combining of land administration information from different sources in a coherent manner.

The following is outside the scope of this International Standard:

- interference with (national) land administration laws that may have any legal implications;
