Possible Application of Service-Oriented Architecture in Domain of Land Administration System

Abstract

Service-oriented architecture refers to a software development paradigm in which individual components of the system are treated as services. This paper aimed to investigate the usage of service-oriented architecture in the land administration system. The possible advantages of this approach would be the ability to handle the system complexity by using multiple smaller components and the ability to use the appropriate programming languages, frameworks, and paradigms for each part of the system. In this paper, it is presented how a system, such as Land Administration System, can be (re)built based on service-oriented architecture, with concrete examples of its parts (layers). The goal of this paper is to represent the way how different systems, interacting with each other, can perform their tasks, such as adding a new parcel, all with the aim of failure-free functioning of these systems, with following analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of this approach. It is concluded that migrating Land Administration System to this type of architecture could provide a better performance of the whole system, since applying service-oriented architecture increases interoperability of land administration system and other systems with which it interacts.
