ItemA multi-purpose cadastre prototype on the web( 2000-08)The Multi-Purpose Cadastre concept has been discussed over the last three decades. The concept, although idealistic when conceived, is still regarded as visionary in addressing the inherent limitations of most modern geo-spatial systems, especially cadastral systems worldwide. The concept is being used to better disseminate and utilise the increasingly large amount of data contained in many of the geo-spatial databases developed over the last few years. The utilisation of the World Wide Web has allowed these geo-spatial systems to evolve into online ‘virtual’ systems that are accessible by most people with the appropriate tools (the computers and telephone lines). This thesis analysed the growing development of these online systems. It describes a review of online cadastral systems that revealed the similarities in moving towards the future vision of cadastral systems of the 21st century, as highlighted by the International Federation of Surveyors document, Cadastre 2014. The rapidly growing volume of geo-spatial data, which has been attributed by technologies such as remote sensing and Global Positioning Systems, are impacting on the way societies of today, are using, viewing and storing geo-spatial data. Improvements in related areas such as the Spatial Data Infrastructure, the Open GIS Consortium and the Australian World Wide Web Mapping Consortium are described and discussed in this thesis.
