FEATURES
1. Implementation of the First-in
First-out (FIFO) within LAMS
Philippines IVAS
2. Digital Cadastral
Database (DCDB) Cleansing
• The DCDB is a database of land records
containing textual, scanned documents,
maps, and spatial data created and stored
within LAMS Philippines.
• It provides the basic and authoritative
layers of cadastre information with all
parcels and political boundary information
covering a municipality, city, or any
political unit.
• It also covers and provides land transaction
information and the recording of any
property rights and information. The
DCDB also creates different thematic
layers on land uses, land tenure status, and
other themes used for better land
management, planning and decision
making.
3. E-surveyPlan as medium to online

paperless verification) and online access

TEXT FILE
An XML file LAMS

applicati
database stores up to this number of
characters. “Unlimited” means no maximum
length constraint for the
element value.

The paragraph that describes the data value

Data Value Constraint constraint for the element.
Maximum times a set of elements may be

on
Max Occur repeated. The maximum
occurrence is 1, if not specified.

DATA Type Constraints

Each entry in the data type column of the tables will be one of these values

Data
Type Constraints
boolean Indicate a “true” value with either a “1” or the word “true.”
Indicate a “false” value with either a “0” or the word “false.”
A Boolean element may not have a null or blank value.
Must be of the format YYYY-MM-DD. A date element may not have a null or blank
date value.
Only valid characters are 0-9. Cannot contain commas, a minus sign, a dollar sign, or
integer
parentheses.
string Should be no longer than the prescribed length

Data Model and Relationships

The elements of the XML file are classified and grouped according to the
following table definitions.

• Header
• Survey
• ResultantLot
• ResultantLotDetail
• MotherLot
• MotherLotDetail
• Boundary
• BoundaryDetail
• AdjacentParcel
• Label

Every element or field is classified according to the Data Type, Optionality, Description and
Index information relating to other table in the dataset. Where tables are related, the fields
are referred by the FK (Foreign Key) of the related table to the PK (Primary Key) of the
main table.

As discussed above, a single DLSD file may contain multiple Survey and Parcel definitions.
Codes for Region, Province, Municipality, and Barangay follow the coding standard set by
the Philippine Standard Geographic Code http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/psgc/.
 E-SURVEY LICENSE
Determine the credentials used to authenticate the
user. Authentication comes in the form of License
Certificates.
- License certificates are
files generated by
LAMS. They contain the
information on the
identity of the geodetic
engineer as well as the
connection information
to the regional LMS
offices. Digital
signatures are also
embedded in the file.
