3D Cadastral Survey Data Model and Exchange Project
LINZ is leading a project to develop a common standard to enable the digital exchange of cadastral survey information between the survey industry and government land administration agencies in Australia and New Zealand.
The 3D Cadastral Survey Data Model and Exchange project will look to recommend an option or options for data transfer that best meets the future needs for Australian and New Zealand cadastral systems. The project recognises that surveyors require freedom to conduct cadastral surveys, collect data and prepare information for lodgement in a digital package, independent of static plan image formats.
