Development Snapshot - Ghana Comment 5

Even though I note that the development of the system is ongoing, at this point, I appear not to see clearly the link between the spatial and the attribute information.

The spatial functionality provided in the Development Snapshot is limited and will be further developed in subsequent releases. With the Development Snapshot, in addition to the display of digital cadastre, there are two functional examples of the spatial to attribute link. Firstly when you "Verify" an  application the software checks that there is a spatial link from the property description entered for the application and the equivalent (spatial) parcel record. Secondly, when you enter the new application details there is the option to define on the digital map the location of the new application. Finally, in the test data (sourced from Land Information New Zealand) we have loaded both (spatial) parcel data and (attribute) title data including the link. The link is in the SOLA  table  ba_unit_contains_spatial_unit and implements the relationship in LADM between the two LADM classes LA_BAUnit and LA_SpatialUnit.
