Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] land records management with open source GIS
Hi Puneet, I'm not aware of anything out of the box as of today, but the OSCAR project is certainly worth a look. It's described in a recent FAO publication - http://www.fig.net/pub/fao/floss_cadastre.pdf (also contains a section on OsGeo, courtesy of Arnulf Christl). There's also my own pet project - http://code.google.com/p/backsight/ It's focus is on data entry from old maps (it only cares about the spatial side of things). Currently pre-alpha, but based on something that actually works in the real world.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] land records management with open source GIS
Puneet, I have several loosely coupled applications that web-enable land records: * Land records search, scanned document retrieval, link to mapserver; http://www2.tetonwyo.org/clerk/query/ * Mapserver linked to land records (use info tool, follow Clerk link) and linked to property taxes (follow Treasurer link from info tool) and appraisal/assessment data (follow Assessor link) http://www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver * Property taxes: http://www2.tetonwyo.org/clerk/treas/ These applications are for county government. They are in use in several counties in Idaho Wyoming. They present the data on the web to the public and county staff, but at this point they do not manager the data (read only display, not input/edit). They are based on Postgres/PostGIS, OpenLayers, MapServer, PHP.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] land records management with open source GIS
Hi Puneet, We have developed a prototype application [1] for the cadastral management department from San Juan, Argentina. It's just a prototype, so it has limited data and functionality: * It only shows the San Juan city plots * Not all plots have full data. If you zoom to the right-center, you will see the plots which have all the data (Between the 25 de mayo, Rawson and Rivadavia streets). * The search box only works with the nomenclature field (eg: 0140390670). The project was developed using: * OpenScales (Flex) * GeoServer * SpatialCache * Ruby on Rails * Postgres/PostGIS Conclusion: Yes! You can develop a cadastral application with open source tools, don't pay for those useless licenses!! :) Let us know if you have any question. Cheers!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] land records management with open source GIS
Puneet, This is a rather open ended process (or it can be) of managing cadastral records. There are so many directions that this type of work can go and they play into so many different types of work processes, that in my experience the development of systems have been fragmented in the past. While I can't point to any one system that we have in place for this, I can tell you that we have put in a large amount of effort into digitally indexing and storing the data required to implement such a system. We also have a lot of production processes that would likely be considered a component of such a system. Our Survey section http://survey.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ has quite a lot of available online data already. And most of their spatial indexing is already available in our online mapping system (GISmo3 is not intended just for cadastral data) http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ Our spatial distribution system, GISmo3, is more generic in that all spatially related information is grouped together into the same system for both external and internal use. We've applied our efforts in making the publication and distribution efforts as easy as possible. This has made for some interesting difficulties with regard to the amount of data we have available, especially for new users trying to find something quickly, the internal system has upwards of 160 layers currently and the number keeps going up. The next versions of the system components will require more effort in the cataloging side of the equation as a consequence. Oh, and it's all Open Source based, except for some Oracle Based data storage, that could just as easily be in PostGIS. bobb P Kishor punk.k...@gmail.com 06/21/10 12:33 AM does anyone know of an existing product, or a firm that develops such a product catering to cadastral and land records management, but using a completely open source stack? -- Puneet Kishor ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
