Urelements

Individuals (= concrete entities, exist in re)

Substances

Moments (exist in time, e.g actions, events, thoughts; presupposes Substances)

Chronoids (temporal region; a Substance has lifetime)

Topoids (spatial region)

Situoids (configurations, relations among, of all previous Individuals and possibly some Universals; have a certain granularity and point of view, the Universals are the key for grasping the Situoid). Situations are (~) instances of Situoids.

Situoids

LandSurveying:
- actors (owner, surveyor, geodetic service)
- databases, with SpatialSpecification of TerrainObjects
- documents
- terrain

AssetTransfer:
- actors (owner, notary, court, local authorities, holders of right)
- databases, with enumeration of spatiallySpecified rights
- documents (carry information on spatial and legal specifics)
- assets
- asset storage (banks, financial organisations)

SituoidProducts:
- new information (e.g. field measurement sheet, drafted document)
- new legal situation regarding unit of real estate (e.g. changed owner, new easement recorded, purchase permission granted/ denied)
- new allocation of assets (e.g. deposit in bank, delivered chash, ..)

See CadastralActivitiesConsolidated that is drafted on the basis of the UseCase descriptions of subdivision in SLO, FIN and DK.
These activities should mirror 'cadastral reality' in said countries in a prolog-like notion
If the 'UrElements' above are necessary and sufficient for performing these cadastral activities, then the two notes together should be close to a cadastral ontology (I think?).
