LADM2013: 5th FIG International Land Administration Domain
Model Workshop
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 24-25 September
5th FIG International Land Administration Domain Model
Workshop - Report
The 5th international edition of the Land Administration
Domain Model workshop series was successfully held from 24-25 September 2013
at the modernized Kuala Lumpur campus of the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
(UTM). The event coincided with ISG2013, the International Symposium and
Exhibition on Geoinformation. Additionally, a one-day
STDM training event preceded both events.
Over 40 participants attended the workshop and a total of 25
peer reviewed papers were presented. Broad themes included: the industry
perspective on LADM; the linkage between LADM and information
infrastructures; refined LADM modeling (including legal package extension,
3D representations and formalizing LADM semantics; specific LADM country
profiles; and implementation aspects. The final discussion session
concluded:
-
The need for exploration of whether, and how, LADM can
contribute to the Post-2015 global development agenda, see:
http://www.post2015hlp.org/featured/high-level-panel-releases-recommendations-for-worlds-next-development-agenda/
-
LADM is capable of supporting the progressive
improvement of cadastres, including both the geographic and other
elements;
-
LADM is capable of supporting fit-for-purpose cadastral
requirements;
-
LADM can be integrated, and should be integrated, with
other geo-information standards (e.g. to link legal spaces to their
physical counter part represented in cityGML, landXML, BIM/IFC);
-
LADM can potentially be used to support organizational
integration, for example, between often disparate land registry and
cadastral agencies;
-
LADM can help to reconcile superfluous government
databases and reduce the large amount of data redundancy that currently
exists;
-
LADM requires maintenance, otherwise, it will disappear.
This means the ‘use’ of the standard requires ongoing monitoring (i.e.
number of downloads from ISO);
-
LADM code lists could provide the basis for establishing
a complete catalogue of global land-people relationships – if such a
database is deemed necessary (registries would be needed for managing
the content: code list values and their definitions);
-
The LADM user community should make all efforts to
interact on an annual or biannual basis to further share and develop the
standard. This could be facilitated through utilization of FIG or World
Bank events through specific tracks – or potentially regional meetings;
-
Whilst ISO maintains its own maintenance approach,
another form of governance structure – potentially included a reference
group – is needed to further progress the refinement and maintenance of
the standard (e.g. code lists, new items).
In the proceedings,
the following countries are included (alphabetical): Australia, Bahrain,
Brazil, Cape Verde, China, Croatia, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, India,
Indonesia, Ireland, Kenya, Malaysia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Turkey, and United States. This broad cross
section reveals growing recognition and influence for the standard.
Additionally, Kean Huat Soon’s (Singapore) paper on an approach for
representing actor roles in the land administration domain ontology was
awarded best paper by the organizing committee.
Follow-up activities for the workshop are likely to include:
1) selection and improvement of selected papers for inclusion in an LADM
Special Issue in a journal of international renown; 2) formalization of LADM
governance structures; and 3) the development of a LADM 2014 or 2015
workshop program.
