UML modelling: from a 2D to a 3D Cadastre Jantien Stoter Delft University of Technology The Netherlands Abstract The current cadastre registers rights on (2D) parcels. To reflect the 3D component of rights in the cadastral registration (for example a right of superficies that is established to hold a tunnel), the current cadastre needs to be extended. In this article two extensions are described: the registration of 3D right-objects and the registration of 3D physical objects, together with their UML class diagrams. Introduction In intensively used areas there is a growing interest in building constructions on top of each other. Those situations are a challenge for cadastral registration, because traditionally cadastral registration is based on 2D parcels. In what way can a 3D approach of a cadastre help in complex situations? Complex situations refer to cases of multiple use of space: one parcel is used by several people (full owners and/or holders of limited real rights) each holding a right on the parcel, each right limited in the third (and second) dimension. For example a building is divided in several apartments and they belong to different owners. Or the owner of a railway line grants someone the right to erect an office block 10 meters above the tracks. Other examples of multiple use of space are tunnels, pipelines, cables and underground extraction of minerals. To improve insight in the spatial component of rights established on 2D parcels, the current cadastral system needs to be extended. In the research ‘3D cadastre’ that is carried out at our department in collaboration with the Netherlands’ Kadaster, two extensions are studied: - the registration of 3D right-objects - the registration of 3D physical objects (as they occur in the real world) In this article, these extensions are described as well as the UML models for the extensions, together with the UML model for the current cadastre.
