4. Property Management Introduction
• Government Agencies require accurate and
current land parcel (folio) records
• Need to maintain the ownership and value of
properties
• And must accurately map the location and
extent of landholdings

5. Key Requirements for a
Property GIS
• Accurate boundary capture and edit tools
• Advanced Geometry validation tools e.g. to
prevent parcels overlapping
• Integration with Financial Register and
Document Management System
• Printing to Land Registry Standards

6. Web GIS Property Management
• Historically desktop GIS were used to managed
property data due to complex nature of property /
cadastre workflows
• But today web GIS tools can provide advanced
GeoSpatial workflows through the web and mobile
clients through products like GeoMedia Smart Client
as used by Shannon Airport Authority (formerly
Shannon Development)

7. Web GIS Challenges
• Accurate capture through a browser
• Ability to capture data at low scales
• Performance of large amounts cadastre data over
the web

8. Shannon Airport Authority
• Shannon Development (now part of Shannon Airport Authority)
required a modern property management solution to manage
the property of the Shannon Free Zone
• Solution wanted to move away from their legacy desktop GIS to
a modern enterprise solution with a SQL Server 2008 database
• Shannon selected IMGS and GeoMedia Smart Client to provide
the Property Management GIS
