All of the abovementioned assignments have been based 
entirely on the Slovenian know-how, which involved the 
participation of the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the 
Republic of Slovenia and Slovenian companies. 
Of course, the development has not been completed yet. Data 
of the digital Land Cadastre is extremely interesting for a 
number of users such as ministries, local communities, public 
companies, and other legal and natural persons. Therefore, a 
new chapter in the distribution of data to outside users is 
being written which will provide a range of new possibilities 
and business opportunities to the geodetic profession in 
Slovenia. A higher level of data applicability will be reached 
after the linking of real property records with other 
databases. The first phase will require a close connection 
with the digital database of real property owners that is being 
created in the framework of the Land Register. This database 
will gradually replace the existing unofficial database of 
owners making part of the Land Cadastre. 
In the last decade an ever increasing need for a technical and 
official record of buildings has been reflected in the efforts of 
the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of 
Slovenia that have been aimed at creating the Building 
Cadastre. The creation of a Central Database of Buildings 
and Parts of Buildings was actually an intermediate step 
towards the creation of the Building Cadastre. The setup of 
registry data of the Building Cadastre allows the national 
land survey service to cover major part of its needs for a 
record of data on buildings and parts of buildings. Apart from 
providing support to the national land survey service, such as 
the direct use in the higher-accuracy topographic database 
(TOPOS), the Building Cadastre — registry data will allow 
the local communities and other government institutions to 
create or upgrade their own databases (records of building 
land, records of real property owned by the local 
communities, records of real property owned by individual 
government institutions, etc.). Data will also be used for the 
needs of real property valuation and taxation. 
The future development of the real property registration 
information system is dictated by the line legislation, user 
needs, general strategic guidelines adopted by the Surveying 
and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, and the 
development of information technology, which is providing 
an increasing range of possibilities.
