The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) is an
internationally recognised ISO standard (ISO 19152) that
provides and supports responsible innovation and partnerships,
for effective land administration. |
The LADM aligns the data model with a standardised global vocabulary for land administration. As an international standard it can stimulate the development of software applications and may accelerate the implementation of land administration systems that support sustainability objectives.
The Land Administration Domain Model is developed at the initiative of FIG, as part of the FIG Standards Network and Commission 3 & 7. The first edition was published in 2012 with a focus on land registration. The International Standardization Organization (ISO) regularly checks whether their standards need to be revised in order to meet user requirements.
The LADM revision has been a careful process and started already in 2017 during a joint working meeting of the FIG and UNGGIM, during which it was indicated that the scope of LADM should be expanded to include conceptual models for cadastral acquisition techniques, marine boundaries, valuation information, spatial plan information, and more 3D support (BIM/IFC input). In addition, there should also be more support for the implementation itself. It was subsequently decided within ISO/TC211 that organising the standard into multiple parts was the best approach.
The first part focuses on the conceptual model and
this has now been published as ISO 19152-1:2024 Geographic
information, Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), Part 1: Generic
conceptual model. Part 1 forms the basis and also provides a global
overview of the conceptual models in parts 2 to 5. These will be
published during 2024 and 2025. The development of part
6, Implementation aspects, is planned in collaboration between ISO/TC
211 and the Open Geospatial Consortium. The first meeting of the OGC
LADM part 6 standards working group is expected at the
next OGC TC on 25
March 2024.
During the World Bank Land Conference 2024 there will be a
session, supported by FIG, dedicated to the LADM : “How Standards
empower People, Environment, Economic Progress, and its underlying
data”.
The 12th International FIG Workshop on the Land Administration Domain
Model & 3D Land Administration will take place in Kuching, Malaysia,
24-26 September 2024. It will be a joint event including the
Geoinformation Week 2024 (including Exhibition from vendors), the FIG
Commission 7 Annual Meeting, and a UN Habitat's STDM Meeting.
