The system will provide enterprise-wide capabilities for the management, planning, coordination, and control of data capture and production activities. Ordnance Survey’s large-scale data holdings will be managed in a centralized geospatial database, and a standards-based interface will integrate field and office-based editing tools as well as those from external contractors. The system will ensure consistency between Ordnance Survey products and enable it to develop new ones.
Bob Goodrich, director of information systems at Ordnance Survey, said: This is an important step forward on the development of our seamless data management system. As a result of this implementation, we will have a truly modernized system that will provide the nation with unprecedented access to current, accurate data.
