It consisted of Prof. Ian Williamson, Dr. Abbas Rajabifard, and Daniel Steudler, supported by Prof. Stig Enemark from Aalborg University, Denmark. This site provides a quick overview of the cadastral systems in many countries.
Parcels and Cadastral Blog - This blog site is a discussion site for national parcel and cadastral data to support the Cadastral NSDI.
