Abstract
The Polish register of land and buildings (EGiB), also known as the real estate cadastre, is of both a technical and declarative nature, which means that the data resulting from special technical, formal and legal procedures should be precisely entered into the EGiB database and then made available to users without distortions or deficiencies. The subject of this research paper is the analysis of formal, legal and technical problems that occur in the process of entering data on the boundaries of cadastral parcels into EGiB. Based on the legal provisions, subject literature, as well as real cases derived from surveying practice, the author performs a descriptive formal and comparative analysis of current legal and technical solutions used to enter boundaries of cadastral parcels into the EGiB database. As a result of these analyses, the author has concluded that the existing legal solutions allow neither full and precise entering of parcel boundaries nor providing users with correct data resulting from the performed surveys and legal works. Defects, difficulties and barriers faced when entering boundary data into the register can lead to the distortion of the relevant information, and thus to the decreased reliability of EGiB. The author’s proposal is to introduce into the application schema the concept of the boundary segment, together with appropriate attributes defining the structure of the cadastral database. This would allow the elimination of many existing problems and provide EGiB users with reliable and complete information.

Summary
In Poland, the data on the boundaries of cadastral parcels of the register of land and buildings (EGiB), known as the real estate cadastre, are entered into the EGiB survey. Pursuant to the Ordinance [1], in force until 14 January 1997, the EGiB survey (cadastral survey) could only function in an analogue (paper) form and consisted of a cartographic part (cadastral map) and a descriptive and tabular part, called the descriptive part, containing documents such as: land records, plot index, land list and a set of files being the basis for entries made in the land records It was the Regulation [2] that introduced the possibility and obligation to keep the EGiB survey in a digital form as a computer database covering both descriptive data and a numerical map containing geometric (cartographic) data on 15 January 1997. Thorough changes introduced in numerous legal regulations as a result of the so‐called transposition of the INSPIRE directive [7, 8] into the Polish legal order meant that the Act [6] included a provision fully sanctioning the digital form of the EGiB survey
