Ian, Stig, Jude and Abbas. Congratulations.
Although I have read this excellent book more than 18 months ago, I have only just stumbled across this short note in “Coordinates”. In my view, this is the most comprehensive publication on land administration systems and of course its important contributions to SDI and spatial enablement of government and society (SEGS). I do hope softcopy becomes available so it can receive even wider distribution – perhaps some more generous support from ESRI?
I think a softcopy version could also be adapted for a modularized training package. This would make an even stronger contribution to knowledge building,
Given the constant advances to geospatial technology that Uni Melbourne’s CSDILA will be able to update it in the next year or so – hopefully with some more generous support from ESRI.
Leave your response!
