Data model for the collaboration between land administration systems and agricultural land parcel identification systems

Abstract

a b s t r a c tThe Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) has dramatically changed after 1992, and from then on the CAP focused on the management of direct income subsidies instead of productionbased subsidies. For this focus, Member States (MS) are expected to establish Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), including a Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) as the spatial part of IACS. Different MS have chosen different solutions for their LPIS. Currently, some MS based their IACS/LPIS on data from their Land Administration Systems (LAS), and many others use purpose built special systems for their IACS/LPIS. The issue with these different IACS/LPIS is that they do not have standardized structures; rather, each represents a unique design in each MS, both in the case of LAS based or special systems. In this study, we aim at designing a core data model for those IACS/LPIS based on LAS. For this purpose, we make use of the ongoing standardization initiatives for LAS (Land Administration Domain Model: LADM) and IACS/LPIS (LPIS Core Model: LCM). The data model we propose in this study implies the collaboration between LADM and LCM and includes some extensions. Some basic issues with the collaboration model are discussed within this study: registration of farmers, land use rights and farming limitations, geometry/topology, temporal data management etc. For further explanation of the model structure, sample instance level diagrams illustrating some typical situations are also included.

The analysis of different annual LPIS values allowed the reconstitution of the crop rotations of the different fields of the different farms' islets (Murgue et al 2014.…”

A survey-based exploration of land-system dynamics in an agricultural region of Northeast China

“…This could be improved by geo-referencing farmers' crop choices to farm plots (Walsh and Crews-Meyer, 2002). Therefore the Land Parcel Identification System (Inan et al, 2010) is expected to be available in more countries. In the driving force analysis of decision making, we used actual decisions as the dependent variable, which were resulted from accumulated behavior from past to present.…”

Interoperable Domain Models: The Iso Land Administration Domain Model Ladm and Its External Classes

“…Data providers may recognise that their activities form a kind of 'supply chain' with activities performed in co-operation with other parties to meet society's expectations. A very good example of using and integrating spatial information in the SII is the combination of the (agricultural) Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), including a Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) with its own LPIS Core Model (LCM) with the LADM (Inan et al, 2010, ISO 2011a. The SII can be used to share the relevant pieces of information between LPIS and LADM systems.…”
