						SUMMARY
		The land administration system and its key registers, cadastres and 
		land registers, play an important role in society when they function and 
		meet the goals set by the society. For the land administration system to 
		be effective it is important to have well-defined static and dynamic 
		components of the system. Static and parts of the dynamic components of 
		the land administration system are defined by the ISO 19152 LADM 
		standard, but for the purposes of efficiency and functionality of the 
		system, process optimisation is also important. The aim of this paper is 
		to explore the processes of cadastral system data dissemination 
		regarding standardised and non-standardised uses of cadastral system 
		data. Formalisation of processes is one way to explore which of the 
		existing classes of the LADM can be used in process modelling and which 
		ones need to be modelled in the future editions. By formalising the 
		processes of cadastral system data dissemination, the first step in 
		modelling the process is achieved, which is the identification of 
		participants and their roles in the processes of cadastral system data 
		dissemination. By identifying process participants and their 
		requirements, the user profiles can be developed in accordance with the 
		LADM standard, all for the purposes of future process modelling, which 
		is planned as an extension to the current edition of the LADM.   
		1. INTRODUCTION 
		Cadastres and land registers or, taken together, the cadastral 
		system, are public registers founded on the principle of publicity and 
		are obliged to grant access to registered information to a wide range of 
		users. In addition to citizens and public authorities, who recently have 
		been the most common users of cadastral system services and data, the 
		cadastral system is being used more and more in other economy branches, 
		such as the real estate market, spatial planning, taxation etc. and is 
		becoming the foundation of spatial data infrastructure. Many other 
		experts have upgraded cadastral system data with their new sets of data 
		which are derived from cadastral system data or created in accordance 
		with it. The right of access to public data is guaranteed by law in many 
		countries worldwide, and despite the fact that these countries and laws 
		are different, their goals are the same, namely population awareness, 
		democracy growth, fighting against corruption and raising 
		responsibilities of governing structures. Complex patterns, processes 
		and regulations slow down activities and raise discouragement for 
		dissemination of the cadastral system data (Roić, 2012).
		Urbanisation, changing population demographics, advances in 
		technology and other major global trends are affecting every individual 
		and organisation around the world. Collaboration and data exchange are 
		very important in all economy branches including the land administration 
		systems. Cadastral system registers, as one of the key registers of land 
		administration systems, play a role in granting access to land 
		information and maintaining cadastral system data in accordance with 
		transactions that occur on land (Krigsholm, Riekkinen and Stahle, 2018).
		Using cadastral system data is regulated by law; from the regulations 
		it is necessary to define user requirements by formalising the use 
		cases, which must then be checked in terms of whether they are in 
		accordance with both user requirements and regulations affecting 
		cadastral system data (Navratil and Frank, 2004).
		The conceptual model describing land administration systems is known 
		as the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), which became the ISO 
		19152 standard. The LADM represents the basis for modelling static 
		components of the system and these models do not include land 
		administration processes for initial data acquisition, data maintenance 
		and data publication. This is because these processes were considered to 
		be country-specific when the first edition of the LADM was prepared; a 
		generic and global approach was likely to be difficult to model. This 
		view may now need reconsideration (Lemmen et al., 2017). According to 
		the documents relating to the new scope of proposals for the LADM 
		revision, processes are yet to be modelled and are planned as an 
		extension to the current version of the LADM . It is also important to 
		acknowledge that these are only proposals and need to go through the ISO 
		consensus process before becoming part of the new standard (Lemmend et 
		al., 2019; van Oosterom et al., 2019).
		Traditionally the focus of the research on land administration 
		systems was pointed towards defining static components of the system and 
		the provision of its data; therefore, it could be stated that there was 
		not enough research in the field of dynamic components of the land 
		administration systems, which are represented with methodologies of 
		updating large sets of data with transactional properties such as the 
		data stored in cadastral systems. It is more meaningful to talk about 
		cadastral systems than cadastres or land registers, as these systems, 
		due to their complexity and wide range of processes support the 
		interaction between land parcels, registration of land rights, valuation 
		and taxation of land and many other current and future uses (ISO, 2012; 
		Roić, 2012; Krigsholm, Riekkinen and Stahle, 2018; Vranić, 2018).
		The aim of this paper is to formalise processes of standardised and 
		non-standardised uses of cadastral system data.
		Standardised uses, in this paper the cadastral system excerpts, are 
		those defined by the legislation and required by other authorities; they 
		can usually be purchased from the cadastral system authorities. 
		Non-standardised uses are more user-specific, in terms of formats and 
		ways of accessing the data; they are also affected by legislation in 
		terms of what data can be used by others and for what purposes. 
		Formalisation of processes will be conducted using UML activity 
		diagrams, as UML has proven to be a good tool for modelling cadastral 
		processes (Arvanitis and Hamilou, 2004; Lisec, Miran and Šumrada, 2007; 
		Zevenbergen, Frank and Stubkjær, 2007; Vučić and Roić, 2014).
		The main goal of process formalisation is to establish connections 
		with existing LADM classes for specific process parts and roles in order 
		to determine which classes are already modelled and which need to be 
		modelled in the future editions of the LADM. It is important to stress 
		that the processes formalised in this paper are somewhat country 
		specific but are formalised more in a general sense. Actors and process 
		elements can vary from country to country and are subject to different 
		laws and procedures. Models developed in this paper are based on 
		experiences of authors and do not represent the broader land 
		administration domain. The standardized cadastral system excerpt used in 
		this paper, as an example, was retrieved from the Joint Information 
		System (URL1), the platform where cadastre and land register (cadastral 
		system) are incorporated as part of the land administration system and 
		the stored data is electronically available to its users.
		In order to gain insight knowledge regarding cadastral processes and 
		their data, thorough examination of previous research was conducted. The 
		examined research will also be mentioned in the paper. The paper is 
		organised as follows: in the first part, previous research on the topic 
		of processes will be listed, as will the results achieved thus far. In 
		the second part of the paper user requirements, activities and cadastral 
		system data will be described. The next part will include the 
		formalisation of the cadastral system data dissemination processes and 
		connection with the LADM. Paper ends with a discussion and conclusion 
		regarding the results achieved.
		2. RESEARCH OF CADASTRAL PROCESSES
		This paper focuses on one domain of cadastral system dynamism, and it 
		is represented by the dissemination of the data. To date, however, most 
		of the research on cadastral systems has been pointed towards static 
		components (the Core Cadastral Doman Model and later the LADM) and 
		provision of data, focusing more on technical and legal issues of the 
		system.
		A solid basis for process modelling in cadastral systems was provided 
		by the COST Action G9 ‘Modelling Real Property Transactions’ 
		(Zevenbergen, Frank and Stubkjær, 2007). COST Action G9 provided 
		comparative analysis of the economic efficiency of transactions in the 
		real estate market and connections between costs of transactions and 
		various national practices regarding real estate processes. Important 
		results from aforementioned action were the definition of terminology, 
		legal and technical correctness criteria, efficiency of transactions 
		(direct and indirect) and general process stages.
		Navratil and Frank (2004) analyse cadastral systems (types, 
		organisation, data and stakeholders) and the processes that affect them. 
		They define two general types of processes in cadastral systems, namely 
		inscription and retrieval of data. Inscription adds new documents to the 
		register and retrieval of data returns information to the user. The 
		authors stated that data requests must allow different keys, because it 
		is not granted that there is a single key suitable for all requests 
		(e.g. parcel identifier). They also stated that the first step in the 
		process of data retrieval is to test whether the request is allowed or 
		not, therefore the request is calculated only if said request is 
		allowed. The authors also listed some examples for search criterion 
		keys, namely identifier of parcel, postal address of the parcel and the 
		name of a person owning the land; it was however, noted that using the 
		name of the owner as a search criterion may be restricted by law.
		Sari (2010.) analysed the process of maintenance of cadastral data in 
		Indonesia, where using the example of parcel subdivision the author 
		developed an activity diagram and pointed out which LADM classes take 
		part in the process. Krigsholm, Riekkinen and Stahle (2018) conducted a 
		survey regarding current and future uses of Finnish LAS; indeed, the 
		authors pointed out the challenge for cadastral systems in terms of data 
		provision regarding accuracy, reliability and provision in real time. 
		The temporal component of data is stressed as very important to almost 
		all users.
		The Open Geospatial Consortium (2019) pointed out that 
		interoperability, data sharing and data integration are needed in land 
		administration development. Services and links to external databases 
		must be able to support operations in internet-connected environments as 
		well as disconnected environments as the internet is not reliable in all 
		areas.
		The aforementioned research papers indicated that user requirements, 
		process information, data maintenance, publication and transparency of 
		processes are of the utmost importance for the future development of 
		land administration systems.
		3. CADASTRAL SYSTEM – DATA AND ACTIVITIES 
		Land administration is built around cadastres and land registers, or, 
		taken together, cadastral systems. It is often more meaningful to talk 
		about cadastral systems, as these systems describe the interaction 
		between the basic block in any land administration system, namely land 
		parcel, as identified in cadastres, the registration of land rights, the 
		valuation and taxation of land parcels, and other present and future 
		uses of land (Enemark, Williamson and Wallace, 2005).
		Modern land administration systems in developed countries should be 
		able to support sustainable development – economic, social and 
		environmental sustainability – through public, transparent and 
		responsible decision making on built and non-built space (Bennett et 
		al., 2012). In order to connect land administration systems, such as 
		cadastral systems, with public and private users, information technology 
		solutions need to be implemented in order to enable users to access 
		cadastral system data and use it in accordance with their needs and law 
		restrictions. Examples of such solutions could be built through 
		multipurpose land administration systems (MLAS), where it would be 
		possible for various users, in accordance with their needs but also 
		rights and restrictions, to have access to land information in order to 
		use the data or to produce new information based on existing land data.
		Cadastral systems deal with subjects, objects and rights as a 
		connection between subjects and objects. Cadastres provide data on land, 
		and most of the stored data (e.g. ownership) relates to people. Rights 
		are an idea, not a physical object and they define what the subject can 
		do with the object, or in the case of the cadastral system, what the 
		owner can do with his/her land parcel (Navratil and Frank, 2004). Figure 
		1 represents the four core LADM classes, and as it shown, the connection 
		between subjects (LA_Party) and objects (LA_BAUnit) is established with 
		real rights (LA_RRR). 
		
		
		Figure  SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 1 – Core classes of 
		the LADM (ISO, 2012)
		Subjects can be legal entities and natural persons; objects are land 
		parcels defined with a unique identifier (e.g. parcel ID), which is used 
		to establish connection via rights with subjects who must also have a 
		unique identifier, such as a personal identification number (PIN). Users 
		of cadastral system data (subjects) are defined with the class LA_Party, 
		and they do not have to be stakeholders of land parcels in order to 
		browse and use the data. For the purposes of identifying users of 
		cadastral system data as instances of the class LA_Party, it is 
		necessary to identify their needs but also rights and restrictions for 
		dissemination of cadastral system data. Identification of users and 
		their needs, roles and activities can be depicted using UML use case 
		diagrams or activity diagrams. In this paper, activity diagrams for 
		standardised and non-standardised cadastral system data dissemination 
		processes were developed. 
		4. FORMALISATION OF CADASTRAL SYSTEM DATA USE CASES 
		Land administration could be defined as management of land tenure, 
		land valuation, land use and land development (Enemark, Williamson and 
		Wallace, 2005; Bennett et al., 2012). As cadastral system data is the 
		core data for land administration, it is expected that it will be 
		required and employed by other land administration system users. In 
		order to explore current and future needs for cadastral system data, it 
		is necessary to formalise the data dissemination processes and define 
		roles, activities, input and output data, rights, restrictions and 
		responsibilities of actors in the system.
		Generally, the process of using data requires a minimum of two 
		actors, a provider and a user, as well as a minimum of three activities, 
		data provision, retrieve and use (Figure 2). In cases of using cadastral 
		system data, the process cannot be considered in such a simple way. 
		
		
		Figure  SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 2 – General 
		methodology for process of using data
		The use of cadastral system data is regulated by legislation, meaning 
		that access to some information may be limited to different users or the 
		payment of a certain fee is necessary for the required data. 
		Furthermore, various users will require data in formats that are best 
		suited for their use intention. Some users may require the data to be 
		verified, while some may not, and others might require the data to be 
		provided in real time or at a specific date and time. The aforementioned 
		requirements could be explored through formalisation of cadastral system 
		data dissemination processes. The general methodology of process 
		modelling is of a hierarchical nature. Following a study by van Oosterom 
		et al. (2019), the authors suggested the below four steps/levels in 
		process modelling:
		
			- Level 1 – Identification of all the actors/elements involved in 
			a process according to the specified elements
 
			- Level 2 – Identification of process phases, i.e. groups or 
			sub-processes relating to a certain topic and provision of generic 
			descriptions
 
			- Level 3 – Identification of basic activities
 
			- Level 4 – Building of a model
 
		
		In this paper the focus is on formalising the Level 1 step using 
		examples of standardised and non-standardised use cases of cadastral 
		system data and to connect its parts with existing LADM classes. An 
		example of standardised use case would be the retrieval of cadastral 
		system excerpts, while an example of non-standardised use case of data 
		would be data retrieval for the purposes of spatial planning.
		4.1 Standardised use of cadastral data
		A cadastral system is made up of public registers founded on the 
		principle of publicity and said registers are obliged to grant access to 
		registered information to a wide range of users. Thus far, the most 
		common users of cadastral system data have been citizens and public 
		authorities. In order to fulfil their requests for data, standardised 
		excerpts were developed, such as excerpts from cadastral map and 
		register data or any other cadastral system data unless it is 
		differently regulated by the legislation.
		The first example of cadastral system data use is standardised use 
		case in terms of requests for excerpts of cadastral map or register 
		data. This process is demonstrated by means of an activity diagram 
		(Figure 3). 
		
		
		Figure  SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 3 – Standardized 
		use of cadastral system data
		In the activity diagram, shown in Figure 3, two main actors are 
		identified for the process of standardised use of cadastral system data, 
		namely user (legal entity/natural person) and provider (cadastral system 
		authority) who communicate through the cadastral system service. Public 
		entities or natural persons constitute the interested party or initiator 
		in this process and the role of supervision and execution of the process 
		is in the domain of the cadastral system service operated by the 
		cadastral system authority. The input data of this process is generated 
		by both previously mentioned actors. The data request made by the legal 
		entity/natural person is submitted after the search for data, which is 
		enabled by the publication of data by the cadastral system authority 
		via, e.g., WMS/WFS and database access depending on what type of data is 
		requested for inspection and retrieval. Output data, the standardised 
		excerpts or notification of an invalid request, are provided by the 
		cadastral system service after a series of actions have been completed. 
		The actions required to fulfil the data request made by the process 
		initiator are validity check, connection to cadastral publication 
		system, publication of requested data in standardised format, check for 
		fee requirement and, finally, delivery of requested data to the process 
		initiator.
		The formalised process indicates the need for development of user 
		profiles in accordance with legislation because the very first step in 
		data retrieval is the validity check in terms of whether the initiator 
		of the process is able to retrieve the requested data. A standardised 
		format for the output data (excerpts) is also very important, because 
		the data must be delivered in a form accepted by the process initiator, 
		e.g. in .pdf format. Data publication should also be in accordance with 
		the user requirements and it must enable easy access to, and searches 
		for, cadastral system data.
		4.2 Non-standardised use of cadastral data
		Modern land administration systems, including cadastral systems, are 
		expected to support sustainable development in terms of economic, social 
		and environmental sustainability. The need for cadastral system data has 
		risen from its original purposes. Many users combine cadastral system 
		data with their sets of data, which are either derived from cadastral 
		system data or created in accordance with it. These new user 
		requirements for cadastral system data can be described as 
		non-standardised uses of cadastral system data. In this paper, example 
		of non-standardised use cadastral system data is for the purposes of 
		spatial planning and it is also formalised by means of an activity 
		diagram (Figure 4).
		Why are these uses of cadastral system data termed non-standardised? 
		The main reason would be because they transcend the initial purpose of 
		cadastral systems and affect many other processes which are unrelated to 
		the cadastral system. A good example of the non-standardised use of 
		cadastral system data is for the purpose of spatial planning. In order 
		to reach the multipurpose level of the land administration system, data 
		interoperability and consistency are critical. A spatial plan is 
		considered to be very important for cadastral system users, as many 
		processes concerning land parcels are regulated by the spatial plans and 
		regulations pertaining to spatial development (e.g. subdivision of land 
		parcel). In the activity diagram, shown in Figure 4, the process for 
		access to the use of cadastral system data is described. Access can be 
		granted via any service such as WFS or database connection. 
		
		
		Figure  SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 4 – 
		Non-standardised use of cadastral system data
		The formalised process of the non-standardised use of cadastral 
		system data in this example identifies two actors communicating through 
		the cadastral system service. The initiator of the process is the 
		spatial planner who inspects published cadastral system data and then 
		requests to access the data via the service in order to develop a 
		spatial plan and to establish relationships between planning blocks and 
		land parcels registered in the cadastral system. The role of supervision 
		and execution for the process of accessing cadastral data is in the 
		domain of the cadastral system authority operating through the cadastral 
		system service. Input data in this process is generated by both actors, 
		and is represented by published cadastral system data and generated 
		requests for accessing the data. Output data, concerning the connection 
		parameters of the required service, is generated by the cadastral 
		service after the series of actions have been taken. Actions required to 
		fulfil the requested access in this process are request validity check, 
		connection to data publication system, check for fee requirement and, 
		finally, the delivery of connection parameters to the spatial planner. 
		The process does not end with the delivery of connection parameters 
		because after the development of the spatial plan, new set of data 
		concerning land parcels can be generated and it is represented by 
		relationships between planning blocks and land parcels, which can later 
		be delivered to the cadastral system authority in order to update the 
		current data with new data.
		The formalised process of the non-standardised use of cadastral 
		system data also points out the need for user profile development in 
		accordance with legislation and user requirements. It is necessary for 
		the cadastral system to explore a variety of user requirements in terms 
		of accessing data in order to deliver the data in the most appropriate 
		format. Since the access to cadastral system data is required by other 
		public authorities and legal enterprises, in order to develop new land 
		data which may concern cadastral system data transactions, it would be 
		possible to develop registered user profiles with user-specific rights 
		and restrictions for data access.
		4.3 Identification of LADM classes with formalised processes
		Updates of, and changes to, cadastral system data may concern the 
		following: parties and their attributes, rights, restrictions and 
		responsibilities and related attributes, basic administrative units and 
		related attributes, and spatial units and related attributes. More 
		generic process-related modules in data acquisition and data handling as 
		well as maintenance and publication are needed. Process information is 
		information on who must do what in approving the transaction. The LADM 
		has already included a series of dates for interaction with the process, 
		but the current edition of the LADM does not include processes for data 
		acquisition, maintenance and publication. The connection of existing 
		LADM classes with formalised processes will be demonstrated on an 
		example of a standardised cadastral system excerpt for a cadastral 
		parcel on which is the Faculty of Geodesy at the University of Zagreb, 
		Croatia located (Figure 5).
		In the standardised cadastral system excerpt, shown in Figure 5, it 
		is possible to establish connections with core classes of the LADM. It 
		must be noted that the excerpt is provided only in the Croatian 
		language, and so the parts of the excerpt which relate to the LADM are 
		marked with red rectangles and numbers next to them. The excerpt was 
		provided in .pdf format and anyone can request it via the Joint 
		Information System.
		Number 1 in the Figure 5 represents the office in charge of the 
		maintenance of data shown in the standardised cadastral system excerpt, 
		which is the Land Register Office for the city of Zagreb, and is under 
		jurisdiction of the Municipal Civil Court Zagreb. The authority in 
		charge of the maintenance is denoted by the class LA_Party. Number 2 
		represents the cadastral municipality where the cadastral parcel is 
		located, and in this case it is Cadastral Municipality Centre with its 
		unique identifier. The cadastral municipality is denoted by the class 
		LA_SpatialGroup. The following number (3) refers to the part of the 
		excerpt where the information about land parcels and their descriptions 
		is registered. Number 4 represents the cadastral parcel ID, where the 
		Faculty of Geodesy is located (2843/4), and it is denoted by the class 
		LA_BAUnit. Numbers 5 and 6 refer to the description of the cadastral 
		parcel in terms of land use, address and area and are referred to b the 
		class LA_SpatialUnit. Proprietorship is noted in the part of the excerpt 
		represented by the number 7, and the owners of the cadastral parcels 
		registered in this excerpt are the Faculty of Geodesy, Faculty of 
		Architecture and Faculty of Civil Engineering which have equal shares of 
		1/3. The owners are denoted by the class LA_Party. The third part, 
		marked with the number 9, of the excerpt is reserved for charges such as 
		mortgages, which are denoted by the class LA_Restriction but in this 
		example there are no registered charges. 
		
		
		Figure  SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 5 – Example of 
		standardized land register excerpt
		Using the abovementioned example, several process elements were 
		identified in accordance with the LADM, such as output data, format of 
		data, providing service and authority in charge of maintenance of data. 
		Further connections between the LADM and process elements were suggested 
		by van Oosterom et al. (2019) and are as follows:
		
			- Interested party, or initiator of the process, is denoted by the 
			class LA_Party.
 
			- Executing and supervising party is denoted by the class 
			LA_Party.
 
			- The input and output data of the process, whether legal 
			(deed/title) or spatial (map) products, depend on the type of the 
			process and can be represented by either LA_Source, both spatial and 
			administrative, but some processes may include special units as 
			their input/output and hence correspond to LA_SpatialUnit.
 
			- A format or a procedure of data exchange, submission or 
			distribution required for the process may be depicted by sources’ 
			attributes such as mediaType.
 
			- Restrictions and constraints, which are characteristic in a 
			given process, may be formed as constraints in the LADM model.
 
			- The legal basis relating to the process may be represented in 
			the LADM by the LA_AdministrativeSource class
 
		
		The actions which need to be taken during the process, such as 
		validity check, data retrieval, fee payment, delivery of data etc. are 
		not modelled with existing LADM classes. The identification of LADM 
		classes with the process of non-standardized cadastral data uses 
		requires more in-depth research and modelling. Detailed analysis of 
		non-standardised cadastral data uses is planned in the future as an 
		extension to this paper, and for the further development of the model, 
		consultations with included stakeholders and users should be conducted.
		5. DISCUSSION
		It is well known that interoperability, data sharing and data 
		integration are needed in the development of land administration. Land 
		administration systems are built around cadastral systems, so the first 
		step in achieving the abovementioned needs for LAS development is the 
		identification of user requirements for cadastral system data. User 
		requirements can be grouped into two main aspects, namely technical and 
		organisational.
		The technical aspect is represented by the process procedure, time, 
		cost, service, information system and technology. According to Sari 
		(2010) user requirements in terms of the technical aspect are: need for 
		one stop shops, need for accelerated/quicker process time, need for 
		up-to-date, accurate, valid and transparent data and system archive, 
		need for online registration processes, customer satisfaction and fee 
		reduction.
		Organisational aspect of the user requirements is related to human 
		resources and regulations supporting the processes of land 
		administration, while the LADM supports the document exchange in the 
		electronic environment, therefore some of the processes could be 
		automated via internet services.
		After examination of the two formalised processes in this paper and 
		the aspects of user requirements, certain questions could be raised in 
		order to aid in modelling cadastral system data dissemination processes.
		Those questions would be:
		
			- Who are the actors in the process?
 
			- What are the actors’ roles in the process?
 
			- Where can the published data be accessed?
 
			- What are the user requirements and are they in accordance with 
			legislation?
 
			- What are the necessary actions to fulfil user requirements?
 
			- What is the purpose of requested data?
 
		
		By answering these questions, the main actors, user requirements 
		(e.g. desired data format) and steps for process automation and control 
		could be established.
		6. CONCLUSION
		Meeting user requirements is a growing challenge for all the economy 
		branches and land administration systems. Cadastral systems, as the core 
		registers and services in land administration systems, must also respond 
		to the growing number of user requirements for cadastral system data.
		Design and analysis of user requirements, through formalisation and 
		process modelling, is one way to gain insight into the needs for 
		cadastral system data in order to provide data in the most suitable 
		format. Reliability, availability and dissemination of cadastral system 
		data is crucial for business enterprises and the public sector in order 
		to produce new sets of data or to upgrade existing data with new 
		information.
		Identification of user requirements for cadastral system data can 
		lead towards standardisation of user profiles, whose rights, 
		restrictions and access to data, could be modelled in accordance with 
		the LADM. From formalised processes of cadastral system data 
		dissemination, certain steps in developing required data 
		interoperability, sharing and integrity could be achieved.
		In terms of process modelling, as mentioned, the very first step is 
		the identification of actors and elements of the process. It is 
		important to stress that the actors and process elements might differ 
		from country to country because they are subject to enforced laws and 
		accepted procedures. Because of these differences, it is essential to 
		formalise processes for country specific cases in order to gain more 
		in-depth insight into process differences for the purpose of process 
		modelling and standardisation, which are planned for future development 
		of generic LADM processes.
		Finally, the growing demand for cadastral system data points towards 
		the need for more explicit process modelling, detailed class diagrams, 
		and more research in the field of cadastral system data dissemination 
		processes.
