Cadastral systems include a database containing spatially referenced land data, a set of procedures and techniques for systematic collection, updating, processing and distribution of data and finally, a uniform spatial reference system. Recent developments in Geo – Information and Communication Technology (Geo –ICT) have a serious impact on cadastral systems. New disciplines like TeleGeoProcessing, TeleGeoMonitoring and TeleGeoMatics can be implemented in applications including cadastral surveying and mapping as well as distribution of spatial cadastral data.
This paper describes a method that was followed in order to face numerous indicative updating procedures of both spatial and descriptive cadastral data by using the state of the art technologies and on the same time, by following the Hellenic Cadastral Standards.
The basic idea was to suggest and implement a model for facing the changes that occur on the cadastral data. A model that would be realizable in the minimum required time (an almost real time application) and it would use the capabilities of new technology. The aim was to improve the quality, the cost effectiveness and the maintainability of a cadastral system through the implementation of such a model.
