Abstract: The land sector in Morocco exhibits significant diversity of land status, stakeholders, administration functions, and methods. A number of public and private parties involved in land administration use a combination of administrative, technical, and legislative management instruments as well as both paper-based and digitized land information systems. These indicate the important social and economic value of Moroccan land and real estate for owners, users, and public agencies. This paper presents the modeling of the Moroccan land administration domain according to a specific ontological model of land governance, and the derivation of a country profile model MA-LADM from the base standard Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) ISO 19152: 2012. The profile aims to provide a common terminology for Moroccan land administration, to allow a shared description of different formal or informal practices and procedures, to integrate the various systems into force, and to allow land administration information to be combined from different sources. The profile's components originate totally or partially from the original elements of LADM or a specialized version that matches existing elements in Moroccan land models to facilitate comprehensive integration. This model investigates the three LADM packages: Party, Administrative and Spatial Unit, as well as the Surveying and Representation Subpackage. The 2d and 3d representations of spatial units are studied to support the Moroccan cadastral practices using LADM.
