FW: Cadastral standards

["Baker, Graham" <Baker@auslig.gov.au>]

I reply to:  "When are we going to see some cadastral data standards ?" 
etc...

The Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) is 
developing cadastral standards.  ICSM is the peak intergovernmental 
committee responsible for surveying and mapping coordination in Australia 
and New Zealand.

ICSM agencies responsible for the cadastre in their jurisdictions have been 
cooperating in the development of a national cadastral data model and an 
associated data dictionary.  To facilitate this national approach ICSM has 
engaged AUSDEC as a consultant.

Additionally the Public Sector Mapping Agencies (PSMA) has adopted a common 
approach to the development of digital cadastral databases (DCDB).  The PSMA 
is a consortium of State, Territory and Commonwealth mapping agencies 
established to provide Census mapping data to the Australian Bureau of 
Statistics (ABS).

is establishing a link to the above cadastral initiatives.
