Employment of the user interface 2000 for the development of the new national cadastre index map of Sweden : some experiences
Olsson, Olof & Christos Papadopoulos
In Sweden the Cadastral Index Map has played an important role since the beginning of the century. Today the responsibility for building up and maintaining the National Cadastral Index Map (NCIM) is shared between the National Land Survey of Sweden (NLS) and 38 Municipal Cadastral Authorities (in Sweden there are 290 municipalities in total). Of course this undertaking was not easy to achieve and implied many problems. Problems that varied from technical ones to others, even more difficult to solve, related to the culturall differences among diverse organizations. A project called User Interface 20000 was implemented to help us solve the main technical problem which was the interchange of geographical information between the NLS and the Municipal Cadastral Authorities without regard to formats and different technical solutions. UI 2000 is neither a format nor a program but a series of technical principles that can be used with different programs and computer systems for interchanging geographical data.
