Exploring Options for Standardization of Processes and Transactions in Land Administration

Processes and transactions in Land Administration are outside the scope of the Land Administration Domain Model Edition I published in 2012. Reason is that processes were considered to be country specific. Generic processes would be too difficult to model. This view needs reconsideration – given developments as Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration, Apps and blockchain.
In many countries different organizations have their own responsibilities in data maintenance and supply, but may communicate on the basis of standardized administrative and technicalupdate processes. Operationalization and implementation of LADM requires attention to this aspect - at least at conceptual level (not prescriptive). This will an issue in the development of LADM Edition II and this is the issue that is explored in this paper.
