  1. Name: Keith Murray Country: United Kingdom NSDI: State of Play • Summary • Foundation • – NMAs (detailed and derived geography) • Standards • - varied • Legal framework • - none for “SDI” • Funding – • Govt and commercial • Roles and responsibilities • – could be clearer • Intellectual property rights and pricing • - foundation (cost recovery) & some free • Educational aspects • - evolving by all players incl AGI

  2. NSDI: State of Play - customer • 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)

  3. NSDI: State of Play - drivers • 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 • eEurope – early links • Use of public information • Access to Government information (making data available) vs providing a customer-driven service • Knowledge economy requires data sharing

  4. Integrating information through geography Where are the environmentally sensitive areas Who occupies this building? Who owns this land? Where are the archaeological sites? Which route offers the best solution? Webpage: Union Railways

  5. NSDI: State of Play - Access • Access to information via (offline & increasingly online) • Discovery Metadata • through the askGIraffe service managed by the AGI • growing distributed node network – FGDC link • Core/framework data supplied by: • Ordnance Survey (GB) and OSNI • UK Hydrographic Office • Other data – based on Ordnance Survey framework data: • HM Land Register, Registers of Scotland and Land Dept NI, VOA • British Geological Survey, Land Cover • Office of National Statistics, GROS • Local authorities ~ 600 (different structures in E&W, S & NI) • Royal Mail, Environmental (Flooding) • Private sector (imagery, project datasets, contaminated land etc) Service Level Agreements Pan-Govt. LA’s etc

  8. Unique Object Identifier = Data linking • National Coordinate system – 3D • GPS/Galileo integration • Topographic features (themes) • Digital Terrain/Elevation Model • Ownership - cadastre • Occupancy - taxation Access land Archaeological Agricultural management Environmental data • Geoid Model • Transformations • Imagery • Boundaries • Points of Interest • Geology Statistical records Construction Images Attribution • Active network • Real time positioning • Addresses • Transport network • Land Use/Cover • Geographical Names Demographics Telematics & more Coordinate NSDI: State of Play: Scope

  9. Unique identifier (TOID) 0409 2000 1706 1951 OS MasterMapTM Topographic Layer (9 themes) 400+ million features truly seamless database updated daily released November 2001 - online delivered only in GML

  10. IS THERE A CONNECTION?Joining up x-organisational data - by TOID Census Fire records Education Housing Stock (condition) Council tax benefit Address (linked to bldg TOID) Building (TOID) All the events are explicitly cross referenced by the connections to the TOID (which also has coordinates)

  11. Topo Themes Bldgs Rds/Tks/Paths Land Heritage Rail Water Structures Future: Prebuild Bdy Themes Administrative Electoral Postcode Urban Limits? Census? Primary Health Care Units? <more> ITN Themes Roads Tracks Paths Rail Water Address L&P Addresses Naming Land parcels Indicative land registration information links Land occupancy information links

  12. Aggregated data Drill down Information & geographic reporting Geographical area i.e Region Geographical area i.e by District Geographical area e.g. by Ward Geographical area e.g. by Census Output area Georeferencing: At point level Either: Address or map feature etc - are linked to the TOID

  13. Several components developed in conjunction with:- 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) • Glossary

  14. NSDI: State of Play - Standards

  15. Ordnance Survey role

  16. 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

  17. Trading Fund status from 1/4/1999

  18. 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)
