Objectives :

" Provision of a uniform format in the submission of survey

data as input to LAMS.

" Improvement in the processing time particularly in the

submission and approval of survey returns.

" Establishment of a standard format for use in data

exchange with other government agencies and other
stakeholders

" Pre-requisite as interim phase towards paperless submission

of survey returns for computerized verification and approval of
surveys.
!  Section 4:
#  LAMS Philippines shall be the main
platform in the computerized land transaction
services of the DENR. It shall serve as the
Land Information System (LIS) designed to
computerize land survey verification and
approval, public land titling, land records

asset management.
!  Section 5:
# The use of DLSD shall be mandatory for all
types of surveys submitted for verification and
approval by the Regional Offices.

# Assumed reference coordinates should not

be considered in the data submission using
the DLSD.
!  Section 6:
#  In order to standardize the submission of
digital survey returns following the DLSD, the
e-Survey plan under LAMS shall be
used.

#  Each private or government geodetic

engineer submitting digital data must submit
ALL survey returns through e-Survey Plan
and conform to the standards set under this
Order.
!  Section 6:
# The LMB shall distribute the e-Survey Plan
software to the accredited GEs in the Regional
Offices. A GE information database shall be
created in accordance with the LAMS
Philippines with the following information:

Name of the Geodetic Engineer:

PRC ID No.: Valid Until:
PTR No.: Valid Until:
TIN:
!  Section 6:

# The submission of DLSD can be through the

internet or any external storage device (such
as USB, CD, DVD, etc.) at the LAMS Kiosks or
Front Desks in the Regional Offices.
!  Section 6:
# The LMB and the Regional Survey and
Mapping Division, in cooperation with
Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines,
Incorporated (GEP) shall conduct orientation
and training to its personnel and private GEs
for the use and adoption of the DLSD
lodgment through e-Survey Plan.
!  Section 8: Transitory Provision

TEXT FILE
An XML file LAMS
(DLSD) Philippines IVAS

database stores up to this number of

characters. “Unlimited” means no maximum
length constraint for the
element value.

The paragraph that describes the data value

Data Value Constraint constraint for the element.

GIS/CAD
Maximum times a set of elements may be
Max Occur repeated. The maximum
occurrence is 1, if not specified.

DATA Type Constraints

Each entry in the data type column of the tables will be one of these values

application
Data
Type Constraints
boolean Indicate a “true” value with either a “1” or the word “true.”
Indicate a “false” value with either a “0” or the word “false.”
A Boolean element may not have a null or blank value.
Must be of the format YYYY-MM-DD. A date element may not have a null or blank
date value.
Only valid characters are 0-9. Cannot contain commas, a minus sign, a dollar sign, or
integer
parentheses.
string Should be no longer than the prescribed length

Data Model and Relationships

The elements of the XML file are classified and grouped according to the
following table definitions.

• Header
• Survey
• ResultantLot
• ResultantLotDetail
• MotherLot
• MotherLotDetail
• Boundary
• BoundaryDetail
• AdjacentParcel
• Label

Every element or field is classified according to the Data Type, Optionality, Description and
Index information relating to other table in the dataset. Where tables are related, the fields
are referred by the FK (Foreign Key) of the related table to the PK (Primary Key) of the
main table.

As discussed above, a single DLSD file may contain multiple Survey and Parcel definitions.
Codes for Region, Province, Municipality, and Barangay follow the coding standard set by
the Philippine Standard Geographic Code http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/psgc/.
!  All types of isolated surveys
!  No arbitrary assumed
coordinates

•  12-month transition
•  One (1) Original copy with digital
