Gaps and overlaps are

automa+cally determined
to check the correctness of

gure shows the gap when
the new lots are projected
on the motherlot by simply
clicking on the Gap buaon.

DCDB Validation
The objec+ve of the DCDB Valida=on tool is
to aid in the analysis of the current state of
the DCDB, iden+fy the inconsistencies,
complete the missing informa+on, and
perform correc+ve measures to clean the
records and establish a fully func+onal
DCDB. Customized screens using GIS tools
are added to simplify the process.

Adop-on of Digital Land
Survey Data (DLSD)
Lodgment as a Standard
Format for the submission
and exchange of Survey Data
in Digital Form under the
Land Administra-on and
Management System (LAMS)

Digital Land Survey Data (DLSD)

Objec=ves :

Provision of a uniform format in the submission of survey data
as input to LAMS.

Improvement in the processing =me par+cularly in the
submission and approval of survey returns.

Establishment of a standard format for use in data exchange
with other government agencies and other stakeholders

Pre-requisite as interim phase towards paperless submission
of survey returns for computerized verica+on and approval of
surveys.

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 4:
LAMS Philippines shall be the main plahorm

in the computerized land transac+on services

of the DENR. It shall serve as the Land
Informa+on System (LIS) designed to
computerize land survey verica-on and
approval, public land -tling, land records
management, and as a tool for land resources/
asset management.

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 5:
The use of DLSD shall be mandatory for all
types of surveys submiPed for verica-on and
approval by the Regional Oces.

Assumed reference coordinates should not be
considered in the data submission using the
DLSD.

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 6:
In order to standardize the submission of
digital survey returns following the DLSD, the
e-Survey plan under LAMS shall be used.

Each private or government geode+c
engineer submiing digital data must submit

conform to the standards set under this Order.

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 6:
The LMB shall distribute the e-Survey Plan
sojware to the accredited GEs in the Regional
Oces. A GE informa+on database shall be
created in accordance with the LAMS
Philippines with the following informa+on:

Name of the Geode+c Engineer:

PRC ID No.:

Valid Un+l:
PTR No.:


Valid Un+l:
TIN:

GE
Information

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 6:

The submission of DLSD can be through the
internet or any external storage device (such
as USB, CD, DVD, etc.) at the LAMS Kiosks or
Front Desks in the Regional Oces.

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 6:
The LMB and the Regional Survey and
Mapping Division, in coopera+on with
Geode+c Engineers of the Philippines,
Incorporated (GEP) shall conduct orienta-on
and training to its personnel and private GEs
for the use and adop+on of the DLSD
lodgment through e-Survey Plan.

Salient provisions:
Sec+on 8: Transitory Provision
The Regional Oces shall con+nue

accep+ng survey returns submiaed

manually within the transi+on period of
one (1) year ajer the eec+vity of this
Order. Ajer which, all surveys submiaed
manually shall be accompanied with the
DLSD le.

Data Value Constraint

Max Occur

The paragraph that describes the data value

constraint for the element.
Maximum times a set of elements may be
repeated. The maximum
occurrence is 1, if not specified.

DATA Type Constraints

Each entry in the data type column of the tables will be one of these values

Data
Type
boolean

date
integer
string

Constraints
Indicate a true value with either a 1 or the word true.
Indicate a false value with either a 0 or the word false.
A Boolean element may not have a null or blank value.
Must be of the format YYYY-MM-DD. A date element may not have a null or blank
value.
Only valid characters are 0-9. Cannot contain commas, a minus sign, a dollar sign, or
parentheses.
Should be no longer than the prescribed length

Data Model and Relationships

The elements of the XML file are classified and grouped according to the
following table definitions.

Header
Survey
ResultantLot
ResultantLotDetail
MotherLot
MotherLotDetail
Boundary
BoundaryDetail
AdjacentParcel
Label

Every element or field is classified according to the Data Type, Optionality, Description and
Index information relating to other table in the dataset. Where tables are related, the fields
are referred by the FK (Foreign Key) of the related table to the PK (Primary Key) of the
main table.
As discussed above, a single DLSD file may contain multiple Survey and Parcel definitions.
Codes for Region, Province, Municipality, and Barangay follow the coding standard set by
the Philippine Standard Geographic Code http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/psgc/.
