Sheep Dip: Local Authority Mapping Collective

Sheep Dip is where I dip my hooves into the murky waters of the internet and pluck out an interesting, useful or just plain whacky titbit for your delectation.

Local Authority Mapping Collective

16 April, 2009

The Local Authority Mapping Collective “aims to get officers from local authorities in the UK collaborating with one another using Google My Maps. It is hoped that this will allow for large sets of mapped data to be made publically available without the need for bespoke software development. This data could then be used on local authority websites, as well as being made downloadable to use in any number of projects.”

That’s great: let’s hope it also helps to nudge Ordnance Survey towards opening up their data.
