On the use of ISO standards in cadastral information systems in Germany

Seifert. Markus

Germany is a classic example of a country that takes great pride in its highly accurate maps and cadastral data. In the last three decades several independent geoinformation systems have been developed in the field of cadastre and topographical mapping. Right now a redesign of the German digital cadastal information system ALK (Automated Real Estate Map) is under development. The new approach, called ALKIS (Official Cadastral Informaiton SYstem), was launched in order to harmonize the structures of ALK and the topographic database ATKIS on the one hand and to integrate the cadastral map and the land titles into one single model which were kept separately for historical and technical reasons.
