Purpose
The UBC Vancouver and Okanagan Campuses do not follow traditional property lines or parcels as most municipalities do. This creates a challenge when it comes to the planning and management of the land and assets that are within it. This standard aims to achieve consistency in the definition of the concept of Property and Land Parcel at UBC, and the format in which data associated to these properties is collected and stored across the University.
This standard applies to UBC applications collecting Parcel Boundary data.
Standard
A UBC Property is a portion of the Campus lands (including the Public Realm), a campus building, or an external site, owned or leased by the University.
UBC Land Parcel properties follow a two-level hierarchical model where all Level 2 Parcels are subdivisions of a Level 1 Parcel.
A Parcel Boundary is a line that generally follows a physical feature, such as a path or road, and is used as a reference for defining a parcel.
Compliance
This standard must be complied with every stage of the data lifecycle with the exception of any dispensations (see Dispensation section):
- All applications must adhere to property definitions as recommended in this standard.
- Enterprise Data Integration must adopt this standard.
Dispensation
Legacy systems are exempt from this data standard. Examples of legacy systems are:
- Student Information System (SIS)
As systems are replaced, adoption of this standard is required.
As existing systems change to adopt this standard, the Enterprise Data Governance team needs to be informed.
