InfoBhoomi: The Foundation for Digitized Land Governance in Sri Lanka
A self-updating localized Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) designed to unify land administration, utility, and planning data, enabling real-time data sharing and efficient local-level decision-making.
From Fragmentation to Integration
Transforming disconnected data silos into a unified spatial intelligence platform
The Challenge
- Fragmented data across multiple agencies
- Inconsistent formats and standards
- Delayed decision-making processes
- Limited data accessibility for stakeholders
- Redundant data collection efforts
The InfoBhoomi Solution
- Unified spatial data infrastructure
- ISO 19152 (LADM) compliance
- Real-time data synchronization
- OGC standards for interoperability
- Self-updating local SDI platform
