Workstream 2 (technical information model)

1. Workstream 2 (technical information model) Proposal for the creation of a common information model, based on community principles and best practices

2. Work Stream 2 • Tender process (select an IT company) • Define an Information model • Set up an XSD (XML schema definition) • Set up a WSDL (XML for interfaces of webservices/ transfer portal)

3. (already) a common denominator? Quick scan on the (many) national defined information models & output formats

6. Towards a common denominator ? • Most countries, but not all: • Information by electronic means; • form of excerpts not established in law; • present info in another way is technical issue; • certified AND uncertified information; • opening with a parcel or a person; • ABC seems a good structure! • Property identifier ! (Cadastral/ LR number)

7. Diversity means… • Support all kinds of search entries; • Support real & person folio; • Support payments of fees; • Different organisations within one MS; • Open data regimes vs. legitimate interest; • Different output (uncert. & certified);

8. Description of the property ownership Mortgage & other burdens Free texts?

9. Description of the property ECLI-like? ID number Local ID? Core vocab. Location? address Description of the plot Deed/ LR? coordinates? boundaries Afterwards? e.g.: cables/ Pipelines ‘Specials’ Processed manually? Free text?

10. Description of ownership Persons/ ID person entities Numerus clausus? Right in rem Property/ mortgage? Burdens ‘Specials’ Processed manually? Free text?

11. Technology proposal Proposal for the creation of a common information model, based on community principles and best practices

12. A – B - C Description of the property A B ownership C Mortgage & other burdens

13. A – B – C in the context of a member state A Term used in member state for a type of “A” Reference to the national legislation for that type of “A” : property B Term used in member state for a type of “B” Reference to the national legislation for that type of “B” : ownership C Term used in member state for a type of “C” Reference to the national legislation for that type of “C” : mortgage ECLI references are preferred.

14. A – B – C example (Dutch Kadaster) A Artikel 1 Kadasterwet : “Perceel” B Artikel 5:1 Burgerlijkwetboek : “Eigendom” C Artikel 3:227 Burgerlijkwetboek : “Hypotheek”

15. Use a canonical term to link equivalent terms B : “Eigendom” “Ownership” “Omistusoikeus” “Eigentumsrecht” B type #1

16. Discussion: language of the canonical term • English? • Pro: readable for a lot of people; • Con: confusing for UK/Wales (national definitions might be different than canonical) B : “Eigendom” “Ownership” “Omistusoikeus” “Eigentumsrecht” “Ownership”

17. Discussion: language of the canonical term • Latin? • Pro: no confusion, best practice of biology and medicin; • Con: unreadable for a lot of people B : “Eigendom” “Ownership” “Omistusoikeus” “Eigentumsrecht” “Dominium”

18. Discussion: language of the canonical term • Non-language code? • Pro: no confusion, best practice in computer science; • Con: unreadable for people B : “Eigendom” “Ownership” “Omistusoikeus” “Eigentumsrecht” “B-TERM-001”

19. Discussion: language of the canonical term • Dynamically use the preferred language of the user • Pro: readable for all people • Pro: no confusion (national definition and canonical term will always match) • Con: result for the same person or parcel might differ between users B : “Eigendom” “Ownership” “Omistusoikeus” “Eigentumsrecht” “Eigendom” “Dominio” Result displayed to a dutch user Result displayed to a spanish user

20. Actions to perform for each member state • Determine national term for six A-B-C’s (as a start): • eigendom / ownership; • hypotheek / mortgage; • erfpacht / leasehold; • opstal / tenancy; • vruchtgebruik / usefruct; • Erfdienstbaarheden / servitutes; • Refer each term to national legislation. • Define the national definition for the term.

21. Example (Dutch Kadaster) Definitions: (national terms are depicted as hyperlinks) • An eigendom is the most comprehensive right a persooncan have over a zaak. • A persoon is a human or a business. • A zaak is a material object susceptible to human control. (This definition should include an explanation that the Dutch Land Registry only registers an eigendom for property, registered ships and registered aircrafts).

22. End result: A-B-C concrete data approach A Use common standard to describe property Inspire, vcardaddresse, etc, etc Refer to national term with regard to “A-type” B IMOLA Create common standard for description “B’s” Refer to national term with regard to “B-type” C Create common standard for description “C’s” IMOLA Refer to national term with regard to “C-type”

23. End result: A-B-C concrete data example Property of John Doe in two member states (NL, FIN) as viewed by an English user A Opastinsilta 12 C, Helsinki, Finland A23476 Kiinteistö Parcel Perceel A16392 Hofstraat 110, Apeldoorn, Netherlands B Eigendom > John Doe > A23476 B872309 Eigendom Ownership Omistusoikeus B123456 Omistusoikeus> John Doe > A16392 C Hypotheek > C887234 > B982309 C887234 Hypotheek Morgage

24. Minimal information model identification A-element National term Canonical term type addresss rights on Personor A-element concerning B-element type National term Canonical term role burden upon concerning National term Canonical term C-element type Personor A-element role

25. Example again A16392 A-element Perceel Parcel type Hofstraat 110 rights on John Doe concerning B-element type Eigendom Ownership eigenaar burden upon hypotheekgever Hypotheek Morgage C-element type Rabobank hypotheeknemer

26. Possible working method • Define and explain national rights & terms nationally • Discuss and compare (1) in workstream 1 • Start modelling the outcome (2) in workstream 2

27. Possible working method: define & explain • An eigendom is the most comprehensive right a persooncan have over a zaak. • A persoon is a human or a business. • A zaak is a material object susceptible to human control.
