Ordnance Survey OpenData: what is it? Come and discuss it at Moseley Exchange
On Monday, the first of our three research sharing events will be looking at the Ordnance Survey’s OpenData initiative.
For some time people have been crying out for OS data to be made freely available, and on 1 April Ordnance Survey announced the release of a load of it.
On Monday Simon Whitehouse will be sharing his thoughts and leading discussion on Ordnance Survey OpenData: eg implications for public bodies opening up their data and the new products that might be created.
From the horse’s mouth:
The government recently held a consultation on Policy options for geographic information from Ordnance Survey, the response to which was released just over a week ago.
I will be talking about the consultation and the implications of the response, especially for public bodies. This will include thoughts on the future of open public data in the UK.
I will also cover the Ordnance Survey OpenData site and if there is interest I’ll go through embedding a simple OS Map into a WordPress blog post.
It’s being held in Moseley Exchange at 6.30pm. The event is free to Moseley Exchange members and £3 on the door to non-members.
Anyone is welcome. If you intend to join us please take a moment to register on our Eventbrite page.
