Text 2 Cadastral data
Cadaster must hold a variety of data. These data are necessary for
the different tasks Cadaster must solve. The most important data are:

1. Technical data. Cadaster must provide technical data for three
tasks:
- Positioning: The storage of the boundaries of the areas provides
a link to the real world and therefore provides the positional reference.

- Taxation: Calculation of the land tax requires the size of the
piece of land and data on the land use. The land use affects the
productivity of land and, therefore, the value of land. Then this value

is the base for the land tax.
- Planning requires data on land use and constructions. Existing
constructions sometimes prevent other constructions (playgrounds
should not be next to highways). The current land use also provides

evidence for the value of land and therefore allows an estimation of
the construction costs.
2. Legal data serves as guarantee for rights in a system with

registration of title, whereas a system using registration of deeds treats
it as additional information and does not claim completeness or
correctness. Contrary to technical data, legal data is either wrong or
right. A boundary, for example, may have an error band, which is not

possible for legal data. The legal data splits into two parts. The first
part is ownership data, the second part are encumbrances like

mortgages.
3. Additional data: Cadaster may also hold data that is neither
legal nor technical data. These data are additional data (e.g. postal
address).

Documents may not be removed from the register even if they
become invalid. Cadaster establishes a chain of owners and stores the
restrictions of ownership. Documentation of the chain of owners

requires permanent storage of all changes in the ownership situation.
This requires permanent storage of the documents and therefore
physically removing a document is prohibited.

Task 3. Answer the questions to the text.

1. What do you understand by technical data?
2. What is land taxation?

3. What data does planning require?
