A structured identifier for a land-administration record — a parcel number, folio identifier, title number, lot reference, or survey plan reference issued by a cadastral registry. Carries the reference value, its type, the issuing authority, and the jurisdiction under which it is valid. Temporal validity (re-survey, re-numbering) is carried with validFrom / validUntil on the reference itself.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a structured land-administration identifier — parcel number, folio, title, lot, or survey-plan reference issued by a registry.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for the simple flat link from a place to a bare identifier when value/type/authority/jurisdiction need not be separated, and avoid for the parcel place itself (that is a Place).

How to use

• Mint CadastralReference, set the functional gmeow:referenceValue, gmeow:referenceType, gmeow:referenceAuthority, gmeow:referenceJurisdiction, and link from the place via gmeow:hasCadastralReference; carry re-survey validity with validFrom / validUntil.

Examples

• ex:cr a gmeow:CadastralReference; gmeow:referenceValue "Lot 42, Plan 12345"; gmeow:referenceAuthority ex:landRegistry.
