Agreement signed for nationwide mapping data supply.
Report with thanks to the
Ordnance Survey.
DEVELOPERS have got the British and Channel Isles covered Great Britain's national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey, has signed an historic agreement giving its Developer Partners access to sample data for the whole of the British Isles, including the Channel Islands. The agreement - with Ordnance Survey Ireland, Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man government and the States of Jersey and Guernsey - opens up exciting new opportunities for Partners developing mapping-based applications and solutions.
Ordnance Survey's Developer Programme offers a year-long contract to individuals or organisations who want to develop a product or data solution that is based on geographical information. Developers are provided with large amounts of sample data over the web at minimal cost, and receive full technical support from Ordnance Survey during the year. Innovators can work with the data and even pilot the final product with test groups, as long as they do not sell it. At the end of the development period, developers may go on to become fully licensed commercial partners and market their application.
The new move now means that developers can work not only with data for Great Britain, but also the rest of the British Isles including the Channel Islands under a single licence through Ordnance Survey. For a nominal fee developers can receive up to £40 000 worth of sample data for Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.
Director General and Chief Executive of Ordnance Survey, Vanessa Lawrence, said
"We are delighted to have signed this agreement with mapping agencies and governments across the British Isles. Our Partners will now be able to develop their ideas through a much simpler process and have access to a wider range of quality data than ever before."

Toxteth to reflect its musical talent.
Report by Dom Bommer.
A SHOWCASE hosted by Toxteth based group Pool Reflections is to display 10 acts from Liverpool's hip-hop community.
The Picket venue will embrace 'Comin' Home' on January 31, a culmination of a project organised by Tony Lawson and Nikki Layden. The band are set to stage a promotional set of an album which includes local artists which is due out in mid-February via Chilli Disc and Urban Nomadic productions.
Musically, the hip-hop scene may not as yet have made its mark on Liverpool. But the first release of such an album in which a tale of poet Langston Hughes, who in the 1940's wrote a poem entitled, 'Comin' Home' - The tale of a victorious GI returning to America after World War two hoping for a better life for all people, is set to reclaim the origins of this musical genre itself.
It is viewed as an exciting message that relays the positive aspects of the Toxteth community and its talent. Layden said of the release,
"This is the first hop-hop compilations album to come out of the Toxteth community, there was just no vehicle to transport it to a wider stage. Pool Reflections is that platform which highlights what hip-hop is about."
