Rethinking Infrastructure within Denmark's Real Property Data Reform
Peter Lindbo Larsen
Denmark is reforming the registration of real property data, which makes up a business case for significant efficiency improvements of the work flows between registers. This pertains both to redesigning core business processes with a view to reduce the risk of human error and to facilitate the handover to new employees who are not necessarily experts in real property and legacy IT systems. In 2012, the Danish Government launched the Real Property Data Program (RPDP) with dual objectives. First, RPDP intends to improve efficiency of real property data registration and administration at central and local government levels. Second, RPDP establishes a common data infrastructure that stimulates the re-use of real property data in the public and private sectors. Currently, RPDP is in the development stages and is expected fully implemented and ready for operation by mid-2017. The program is backed by an open data initiative that makes most public data, including real property and map data, freely available to users. The RPDP responsible parties are the register authorities (Land Cadastre; Building Cadastre; Real Property Ownership and Land Registry) and the major public beneficiaries (real property valuation and taxation authorities). A detailed business case documents the potential efficiency gain for the RPDP to gather.
