Geoportal Registrars

Abstract

The Registars Geoportal arises as a direct result of the Law 13/2015, dated June 24th, which obligated the property registrars and,
consequently, the Association of Property Registrars, to make available, for merely informative purposes, an online service to
create specific graphic alerts about properties that were affected by processes of inscription of georeferenced graphic  representations in the registry. In compliance with this legal obligation, from the Graphical Reference Database Service, we have complemented this tool, achieving that it is no longer exclusively a viewer or alerts service, but rather a website that permits the visualization and interaction with graphic representations. At the same time, it facilitates knowledge to citizens about how the graphic situation of their property within the territory can determine or condition the exercise of their rights through the analysis and contrast of a geometry with other graphic layers available from the Open Geospatial Consortium and OpenLayers libraries. We believe that this website is a clear example of how Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) can influence the lives of citizens.
