Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain cadastres, relay functions, types, history and modern systems from land administration and legal sources, describe the named registers, and distinguish cadastres from land registers of title where separate, deeds registration, maps without legal status and census records.

An official register of land parcels recording their location, boundaries, area, ownership or rights and sometimes value, used for taxation, land administration and securing property rights, often linked to a land register that records legal title, such as systems based on the Torrens title developed in South Australia in 1858, where registration itself confers title; historical examples the registry aliases name include Japanese land surveys and registers such as the kenchicho, land survey books from Toyotomi Hideyoshi s surveys, and otabumi, provincial land registers of medieval Japan, and specialised registers such as water cadastres recording water rights. Modern cadastres are increasingly digital and linked to geographic information systems.

What it is for: Recording land parcels and rights.

It can be explain functions and types; relay history; describe named registers; relay modern digital systems.
