Delivering sustainable development requires effective management of social, environmental and economic aspects of land. Historically, land administration systems have contributed to this by recording and organising interests in land, primarily through land registration, land mapping, land valuation and land development subsystems. Unfortunately these subsystems have established diversified services and functions to manage interests in land each from their own perspective, and often operate in unconnected information silos. Interoperability between these information silos is impeded by use of often incoherent and unique identifiers in the data models used in each subsystem. Delivery of sustainability in the wider sense is adversely affected by an inability to exchange land information between subsystems.
