The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of strategies for developing cadastral data exchange formats used in different countries worldwide and to their significance for the development of domestic cadastral technologies. Using examples from the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, Spain, and New Zealand, the key approaches to building cadastral file structures are described, which are conventionally divided into two conceptual groups: national specialized formats and standardized XML-based models. The first group is represented by the VFK and CXF formats, which are characterized by a clearly regulated structure, orientation to the internal legal field, and optimization for specific tasks of the national cadastre. Such formats provide adequate storage for spatial and attribute data but have limited interoperability with international software and may not meet modern requirements for multidimensional modeling. The second group of formats – GML and LandXML – demonstrates a tendency toward universalizing cadastral data through open standards. These formats support a wide range of geometric primitives, including 3D structures, and offer flexibility, extensibility, and integration with global GIS infrastructures. Their use contributes to the unification of exchange processes and increases the accuracy, reliability, and long-term storage of geospatial information. The article compares the two approaches based on structural organization, technological compatibility, support for complex geometries, and compliance with legal norms. It is emphasized that none of the strategic directions is universal: specialized formats better meet local regulatory needs, while XML-oriented models provide integration into international information flows. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that the integrated approach is feasible and is currently being implemented in Ukraine during the development of the national format of the cadastral exchange file. This approach combines the structural discipline of specialized formats with the flexibility of XML solutions, ensuring support for complexly structured data, the ability to modify them, and compliance with both technological and legal requirements of modern cadastre.
Keywords: cadastral formats; geospatial data exchange; cadastral exchange file; geographic information systems; XML technologies.
