FLOSS in Cadastre and Land Registration
Cover page: (c) FIG, és FAO, April 2010
The first author Dr. Daniel Steudler informed us about the accessibility of the publication in his recent mail :
" ...the FLOSS-Cadastre publication has been done as a joint FIG-FAO project, and both partners express a strong wish that the information is being spread and distributed. So, no problem for referencing and disseminating it. The PDF of the publication is already on the web at two locations:
Maybe you can just make a link from the HUNAGI website to those URLs."
Thanks for Robin Waters and Ádám Podolcsák who raised awareness on the availability of the publication.
