Minimum Interpretation Rules
jordstykkeis the parcel anchor.ejerlavsupplies the cadastral district needed to interpret parcel identifiers.- Boundary and survey entities describe legal structure, not independent thematic layers.
- Ownership does not live here; join to Ejerfortegnelsen when ownership is the question.
Access Strategy
- Use direct parcel geometry for legal boundary analysis.
- Join to Ejerfortegnelsen for ownership and to Ejendomsbeliggenhed for address-facing property linkage.
- Prefer current-state filtering for operational mapping and valid-time slicing for historical cadastre work.
