Research, research, research.
The aims of the KGN are specified as the monitoring of local and regional crustal deformation, earth sciences research, cadastral surveys, providing geographic information, and transmitting Differential GPS (DGPS) corrections for a national service through some specific reference stations.
During recent years, several organisational and individual research projects have investigated the cadastral domain.
This paper presents results of research dealing with geodetic and cadastral aspects of utilizing space above and below the surface.
In order to overcome these problems, this research proposes a 3D underground cadastral data model, which is associated and integrated with classes in ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) developed by the Technical Committee 211 of the International Organization for Standardization.
The main contribution of this article is an explication of a design research methodology and a theoretical framework for research in cadastral information, cadastral systems and the units of property rights reflected in these systems.
While some efforts have focused on behavioural research methodologies, design research methodologies have not been addressed by the cadastral, geographical information system (GIS and SDII research community so far.
One of the drawbacks of this solution is that it is not possible to validate the 3D cadastral representations (Are the volumes closed? Are the neighbours non-overlapping?) The second phase is research in progress and comprises the actual inclusion of the 3D data in the registration, enabling complete validation and even better 3D data management and dissemination.
This research results in a model that can be used as a transition from the current cadastral system to a fully LADM- compliant one, taking also into account the INSPIRE directive.
However, this research has identified a "checklist" of issues to be addressed by jurisdictions hoping to implement digital cadastral survey plan lodgement.
