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
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)
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
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

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
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)
