Open Season
Opening and enabling GI for developer and
user communities

Director of Products
Ordnance Survey Great Britain
Enabling Spatial Data Infrastructures through “open”
relationships
Realising that ‘open’ enables spatial data infrastructures, touching
all of Ordnance Survey’s operations and those of its
stakeholders
• Web focused product development, open standards
• Product licensing and partner equivalent licensing
• Supporting application development through open technology
• GI community benefits greater than individual
• Content capture and delivery
• Supporting product development through collaboration
All benefiting the dissemination and use of geospatial data
1. Open Standards
•
2001: GML as supply format for OS MasterMap (GML 2.1.2)
•
OS On Demand
•
Active supporters of Open Geospatial Consortium
•
•
New products will support open standards
Existing products will see standards evolve
2: Open Source
Open Source support for INSPIRE
• Build a reference implementation for
INSPIRE
• Support the Open Source projects to
make the required changes
• Make our knowledge about
implementation available to Data
Publishers and the wider network
3: OS OpenData
“Making Public Data Public”
OS OpenData
Opening up of Ordnance Survey data as part of the drive to increase innovation,
and support the government’s ‘Making Public Data Public’ initiative.
What data is included?
• OS Street View®
• OS VectorMap™ District
• 1:250 000 Scale Colour Raster
• Code-Point® Open
• Boundary-Line™
• OS Locator™
• 1:50 000 Scale Gazetteer®

OS VectorMapTM District
OS VectorMap District is a mid-scale digital raster and vector mapping product
giving a district-level view. It clearly shows the landscape features relevant to its
level of detail, including generalised buildings, roads, railways, landscape features,
boundaries and rivers. OS VectorMap District is a new product being issued as an
alpha release under OS OpenData. It has been designed for viewing either as a
map on its own or as a context backdrop to your own data, which can be overlaid
using a GIS.

Four “families” of licences
•
OS OpenData
• Data “free at the point of use” under Open Government licence
• Available to consumers, developers and corporate users
•
Public Sector Mapping Agreement
• Data “free at the point of use” to all central and local government users and
their contactors – funded centrally
• Very extensive rights – only commercial use excluded
Business Use Licensing
• Data available at commercial rates to all commercial users to support their
businesses

Licensing for value-add products
• Data available for partners to on-sell and create value added products to
meet market needs eg Publishing, Insurance
• Available through partners only
•
•
Partnerships underpin everything we do

Where to from here?
• Open(er) Product Development
• build a network of trust, we have to earn that trust
• gives sight of developments, brings our customers and
stakeholders on the journey with us
• allows us to be flexible with development
• allows us to benchmark against the community
development roadmap
• Open(er) Data Collection
• Initial focus on expert sourcing
The Dos and Don’ts of Opening up Data
Seminar on Underpinning Innovation with Geography at the Science and
Innovation 2010 Conference, 16 June 2010
Don’t…
• Just release data and expect people to understand or create
with it. Publication is not the same as communication
• Wait for FOI requests, put the data out first informally
• Be late in releasing data
• Rely on future technology to solve today’s problems
• Go straight for the finished article, use rapid prototyping
• Wait for the big budget or formal process but start big things
with small amounts now
• Expect people to interpret the data in the same way you do
• Be technology led, be business led instead

The Dos and Don’ts of Opening up Data
Seminar on Underpinning Innovation with Geography at the Science and
Innovation 2010 Conference, 16 June 2010
Do…
• Set out to create commercial or social value with data
• Make sure data quality is and remains high
• Promote innovation using government data sets. Transparency
is only a means to an end
• Enhance communication with the public e.g. Hack Warwickshire
• Incentivise developers
• Create a strong external community
• Be brave – people may do things with the data that you don't
like
• Use open source software wherever possible
