Abstract
The cadastral data, including land parcels, are the basic reference data for
presenting various objects collected in spatial databases. Easy access to up-to-date
records is a very important matter for the individuals and institutions using spatial data
infrastructure. The primary objective of the study was to check the current accessibility of
cadastral data as well as to verify how current and complete they are. The author started
researching this topic in 2007, i.e. from the moment the Team for National Spatial Data
Infrastructure developed documentation concerning the standard of publishing cadastral
data with the use of the WMS. Since ten years, the author was monitoring the status of
cadastral data publishing in various districts as well as participated in data publishing in
many districts. In 2017, when only half of the districts published WMS services from
cadastral data, the questions arise: why is it so and how to change this unfavourable
status? As a result of the tests performed, it was found that the status of publishing
cadastral data is still far from perfect. The quality of the offered web services varies and,
unfortunately, many services offer poor performance; moreover, there are plenty services
that do not operate at all.
