Cadastral from french cadastre meaning to register. Hence a Land registry system. However don't go near the Quebec Land Registry based on old Seigneurial land titles everything was measured in perches or some other obscure 17'th century measurement. Yup I worked on two GIS cadastral mapping systems linked to land assessment databases one in Ottawa with a Honeywell 6000 GCOS mainframe and one PDP 11/70 Intergraph system in Calgary.
