Mapping ArcGIS Parcel Fabric to LADM - Commonalities, Gaps and Implementation
Amir Bar-Maor
Esri's ArcGIS second generation of the parcel fabric was designed with LADM in mind.
Unlike LADM which is conceptual, the parcel fabric information model is a physical
information model. The parcel fabric is designed to meet the industry needs for the next 15-20 years.
This paper will map the parcel fabric to LADM, use LADM abstract test suite for
conformance and identify the gaps with the parcel fabric as well as LADM.
A key driver for the parcel fabric was to make it as easy as possible to implement: easy data migration, extendibility, configuration over customization, built-in configurable quality
control, great defaults for layer symbology & labeling, and configurable workflows to reduce the learning curve and promote best practice. The implementation pattern will be examined in the context of LADM.
Another key aspect is a service-oriented architecture and the use of web services to expose the information model, metadata, and capabilities.
