The role of the cadastre in spatial data infrastructure in Denmark

Nielsen, Soren Reeberg & Soren Fauerholm Christensen

In recent years, Spatial Data Infrastructure has been used in many connections. This infrastructure is to cover the need for basic spatial data, i.e. the spatial data that is used widely and transversely and that works as a basis for registration of other data. There is no doubt that from an overall point of view the cadastre is part of the national Spatial Data Infrastructure, but which overall challenges does this give for the cadastral systems? In Denmark, we are working with a model where the Spatial Data Infrastructure is built up through transverse cooperation in e.g. the Spatial Data Service Community. Across central and municipal authorities, solutions are being found that would have required organisational changes a few years ago. The cadastral system, the title registration system and the land-use planning system in Denmark will be redesigned over the next couple of years. The goal is for future systems to support the Spatial Data Infrastructure in Denmark. This requires that both legislation and technical solutions be coordinated across ministries and this will place great demands on the cadastral systems.
