Normative consolidation and expansion of the geospatial code

Abstract

The Geospatial Code of the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) of Spain, systematized by Lawyer and Doctor of Law Efrén Díaz Díaz, integrates over a hundred regulations on terrestrial, maritime, aerial, and outer space aspects, with civil and military implications in Spain. It highlights the importance of geospatial data and services in technical and legal disciplines, offering a broad and multidisciplinary normative vision. The legal interoperability of geoinformation is key to solving normative and technical problems and is essential for data accessibility and reuse. The Code aims to overcome partial views and consolidate a holistic vision, harmonizing physical reality with its cadastral and registry representations. It facilitates the integration of technical and legal professionals, improves institutional coordination, and promotes the development of the outer space sector and the regulation of Outer Space. It provides a comprehensive legal structure for Cartography, Topography, Advocacy, Notary, Real Estate Cadastre, Property Registration, and activities in Outer Space. Additionally, it addresses the coordination between Civil and Military Dual Use in geospatial and aerospace industries to prevent smuggling and terrorism.
