The only difference is that there are more to be retrieved
here. Namely province, county, district, share, mortgage,
sequestration of testator's real estates are retrieved. Based on
the results of the analysis, the court makes its decision that
heirs are the shareholders of the rights and restrictions for
each of the testator's real estates.
As explained above the temporal analyses needed in
Inheritance and transition cases are slow. If the analyses
involve searches countrywide then the search will be even
slower and thus take time. This is one of the main reasons of
the fact that only 35-40 % of the property cases are resolved
within the same year of the appeal (DIE, 2003). This is rather
annoying on behalf of the citizens. On the other haud, it
creates an unnecessary burden for the courts.
Inheritance and transition. cases are almost every day
operations in Turkey. However, recording a heritage on
behalf of the heirs via court cases is a burden for both citizens
and courts. In the e-government implementation LTC offices
may offer these analyses as web services for the others’ use.
By the participation of other parties to e-government the
operations will performed much faster. For instance, the
inheritance and transition processes could be initiated upon
the death automatically and the results may be declared to the
heirs. This duty might be assigned to the population and
citizenship offices. Because, when a person died, his record is
changed as died in population and citizenship offices. The
family tree of testator could be retrieved from the MERNIS
system (NVI, 2004). Thus, both citizens and courts may be
freed from inheritance cases. The citizens would be happy
with such a high quality service and the workloads of the
courts would be diminished substantially.
4. IMPLEMENTATION
According to the requirement analyses a database design was
performed in the Relational model. Temporal data are traced
by "tmin" and "tmax" attributes (Oosterom, Lemmen, 2001).
Fig. 1 shows in part the relational schema used. Attribute data
was stored in MS Access. Since it was not legally allowed to
have LTR data, an experimental database was populated
manually. GIS software used was MapInfo Professional 6.5.
A space-time composite temporal model was used for our
system. The interface for temporal analysis was developed in
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (MVB). Temporal queries and
database modifications are performed from the interface. The
relationship between attribute and spatial data is established
over “Estate-id” (Fig. 1). Attribute queries are done via SQL.
When spatial data is involved in the query then MapBasic
commands are employed.
4.1. Temporal analyses in the developed system
In this part, how the temporal analyses needed in NGDE case
are performed in our system is explained. The steps 3 and 5
can be handled in the system. That is, LTC data of the PC
date and LT data of the query date are retrieved from the
temporal database. PC date and query dates are entered to the
form as “first” and “second” date. However, the step 5 has to
be performed from the screen. For instance, it can be noticed
form the tables that the parcel 122 had been subdivided into
the parcels 135 and 136. Thus, a decision to hand the parcel
in GDNE would affect 135 and 136. Both this and the results
of the step 3 can also be arranged as a report. The steps 1, 2,
and 4 can not be performed automatically in our system since
the documents involved are in a analog medium. By scanning
these documents and organizing them within the database,
these can also be automated to a certain extent.
