Maps are instrumental in the commodification of land and its exchange in markets.

It is based on the analysis of a land reform project in the Southern African country of Lesotho.

Survey numbers for parcel identification also lack digital interoperability. Parcel measurements and ownership information are manually recorded in multiple separate registers. The objective of this study is to leverage geospatial technology for automation, auditing and validation of present manual cadastral mapping in Pakistan.

It is within the context of these three notable features that the Australian and Bruneian experiences with DCDB are examined.
