Towards a New Working Item Proposal for Edition II of LADM

This paper presents the first and incomplete draft text for the revision of IS 19152:2012 ‘Geographic information — Land Administration Domain Model (LADM)’ within ISO TC211 in the form of a New Working Item Proposal (NWIP). This ‘two-page NWIP’ text aims to describe the scope of proposed project to revise, and also provides the purpose and justification behind this revision of LADM. The International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) also submitted to ISO the NWIP for the current version of LADM (IS 19152:2012). As for the revision the ambition is now to go beyond just a conceptual model by providing steps towards implementations (e.g. more specific profiles, technical model in various encodings, etc.), it is the intention that the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) is heavily involved in the revision and that the result is a joint ISO/OGC standard. For this purpose the recent draft OGC White Paper is added as Appendix 1 to this paper to provide more detail background information.
It is further noted that the complete NWIP for Edition II of LADM also ‘Preparatory work’ should be attached; e.g. a draft of the new version of the standard. In the case of the revised LADM standard of course this is based on the IS 19152:2012, but will contain also contain collected materials from the LADM2017 and LADM2018 workshop.
