Land and Legal problems

With technology so advanced, why not track the land details in a bigger databases. Every piece of land has a unique dimension, which can be described by Geo points. It will be pretty simple to keep track of the geo points.

Advantages :
  • A centralized way, through which a land can be checked.
  • Dont need to remember the complex survey numbers. Give a piece of geo point, by standing inside the land ( your GPS mobile can get one ). And the rest will be served by the db.
  • No legal threats. A piece of land described by a set of geo point boundary can have a history, through which all the legal information can be maintained.
  • And many more !

How difficult it is to convert and store this in a db ?

  • Write some standard tools , which will convert the existing measurements (such as survey numbers ) and store it in a db.
  • Have this method as an added one for a period of time ( proof of concept )
  • Once the errors are reduced and the entire land details are in db (based on maps), it will be the way to go !

Hmm ! my 2 cents !
