Ontology development for land administration

This paper presents ontology architecture for the land administration domain, which should provide shared vocabulary for semantic interoperability between cadastral systems. This ontology is based on general geospatial ontology which describes generic concepts from geospatial domain such as geometry and topology and is in correspondence with geospatial standards: ISO 19100 series and OGC. Land administration ontology is based on the Land Administration Domain Model specified in ISO 19152 standard which is extended with the concepts from the Serbian national cadastre.
