Directory of Entities and Attributes

This page provides links to the definitions for the entities and attributes in the Cadastral Data Content Standard. Each entity has a definition and an accompanying set of attributes. The attributes have a definition and a listed domain of values. In conformance with Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) standards requirements, each domain of values includes a free text option for situations that are not served by the listed domain of values.

The domain of values eliminates the use of codes and minimizes the use of abbreviations. Abbreviations are only used for cardinal directions, such as N for North.
