Location is an essential component
of most information [80%]

Location underpins important
government activity - this impacts
upon the citizen e.g.:

–
buying a house
–
choosing a school
–
travelling to work
–
emergencies
Location information (Ordnance
Survey products and services)
underpins £100 billion of national
GDP [OXERA report 1999]
(see http://ordnancesurvey.co.uk)

Developing the KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
–
Customer driven:



Maturing & New breed of individuals
Expectations rising (quality, price & standards)
Plug & Play
–
eGovernment – targets for 2005
eCitizen
e-Envoy in the Cabinet Office, Regional development

Use of public information
–


Access to Government information (making data available) vs
providing a customer-driven service

Knowledge economy requires data sharing
United Kingdom
Integrating information through geography
Who occupies
this building?
Where are the
environmentally
sensitive areas
Who owns this
land?
Which route
offers the best
solution?
Where are the
archaeological
sites?

The Digital National Framework
OS MasterMap is based on a new standard for national
georeferencing frameworks, defining:

Direct and indirect reference systems (coordinates & identifiers)

Reference data (the base geography that links users data)

Application/Users data (information to be referenced)

Quality

Metadata

Linking application data with reference data (data sharing)

Ordnance Survey role
United Kingdom
Ordnance Survey Business model
Ordnance Survey and its partners will be the content
provider of choice for location based information in
the new knowledge economy.

Customer driven, & customers pay for data, aim to deliver a quality
service (data and single portal for data)

Permits medium term investment, supports sustainable evolution &
minimises financial dependence on government (short term)

Ensures Ordnance Survey is business focussed – IP, partnerships,
licensing & priorities

Maintaining the framework for others to build on and exploit

Focus on this as Ordnance Survey core business - not in the
applications business & aiming to significantly grow the role of
partners

Built on two decades of experience

Conclusions

No “one-size fits all” for a spatial infrastructure; the national
political, social and economic environment will dictate the scope,
content & nature – someone has to take the lead
In Great Britain:

Knowledge Economy – driven by Government and supported by
the commercial sector

Customer driven, funding from customers, led by Ordnance
Survey (establishing foundation GI levels)

Major elements in place and others being developed with other
government agencies and partners – maintained daily

The future will be driven by users needs (government &
commercial)
