4. Cadastre today Software used for the maintenance of cadastre At the end of 1998, the information system was named Maaregister (Land Register) and version 2.1. was launched. Cadastral map was mostly maintained in MicroStation separately from alpha-numeric data. In 2001, version 3.0 of Maaregister became available, with which a single-level register was created (implementation of terminal workplaces guarantees nationwide operation directly with the data of central server) and this software and its upgrades are used up-to-now. With this versionn it became possible to register spatial data directly in the cadastre with the help of Geomedia software. Earlier spatial data of administrative and settlement units and cadastral parcels were migrated from MicroStation into Geomedia. Currently v 4.0 of Maaregister is in use.
