Aspects of a 4D cadastre : a first exploration

Oosterom, Peter van ... [et al.]

Research in the past years has shown that a 3D registration of information on land in cadastral systems can offer significant advantages for the legal security of real estate. It improves insight into rights and restrictions related to constructions and properties in 3D configurations, of which on top/below each other are the most straightforward examples (Stoter and van Oosterom, 2006). However next to the spatial (3D) aspect of rights and restrictions, the temporal aspect, the fourth dimension of interests in real estate, is an important aspect of cadastral registration. Rights, responsibilities and restrictions have a temporal element. A further category of examples of the need for 4D cadastral information is when a record of history is required on a certain property or when history information on land use development in a certain area is needed to support future land policy; this is the real world time aspect. The final category is where a history of the database content is needed; this is the system time aspect (van Oosterom, Maessen, and Quak, 2002).
