Proposes a DRM framework for managing digital cadastral plans in Australia, indicating improved data security.
This study examines strategies for implementing Digital Rights Management (DRM) and licensing in a portal for digital cadastral plans. It reviews current practices in Australian land information systems, identifying gaps and limitations in standards such as LADM, LandXML/ePlan, and LandInfra. A modular DRM framework is proposed, incorporating access control, encryption, watermarking, and metadata embedding. The study also introduces a licensing module based on international, machine-readable standards, including ODRL and GeoXACML. Sample licence artefacts demonstrate feasibility. The proposed approach supports the development of a secure, standards-aligned, and legally compliant platform for managing and delivering digital cadastral data.
