The box below illustrates in red an attribute from the Legal Area Description entity of the Cadastral Data Content Standard which corresponds with data commonly used by surveyors.
Legal Area Description - A Legal Area Description provides the structure for assembling the components of a single legal description into one. The components of the legal area description can be used to build legal descriptions based on areas. For example, a legal area description could be a lot in a subdivision and that lot may be contained in a Public Land Survey System area.
LAD Source Agent - The Source Agent is the individual or organization which determined the legal area description. Domain: Text.
Note: this example and the others
in the crosswalk illustrate correlations between commonly used surveying
information and attributes in the Cadastral Data Content Standard.
However, this example is not meant to cover every possible surveying situation.
Thus you may find, upon reviewing the crosswalk, that you can think of
instances when additional correlations can be found between the Standard
and information surveyors collect.
