Ordnance Survey
“Ordnance Survey is Great Britain's national mapping agency, providing the most accurate and up-to-date geographic data, relied on by government,
business and individuals.”
Some recent issues:
Income generation and cost recovery Greater imbalances of surveying Greater costs of large-scale mapping Greater concern over copyright and IPR Focus on core mapping - provision contracted out to Partners and
Mapping and Data Centres. Greater liberty to vary prices locally around core parameters.

Beware…
• Dates• Accuracy• Purpose (e.g. plans)• Often not designed to be used in
isolation • Require accompanying terriers or documents• (there may not be a key…)
• Bias • the cartographers choices (what to include?)• political influence• your own bias

Digital Mapping
Raster Images.• Any historical mapping• Scanned maps from desktop or large-format scanners• Smaller-scale digital data from OS• Typical formats: TIFF, PNG, BNP, GIF• Usable by any picture editing software - Imaging, Paint, Photoshop, Illustrator. Also usable by
Geographical Information System (GIS) software• Can alter basic image parameters - crop, and add features as extra layers on top of base raster image• Relatively available and easy to use software.
Vector Images• Modern OS mapping• Typical formats: GML, DXF, NTF, ArcGIS Shapefile, MapInfo MID/MIF• Usable by any Geographical Information System (GIS) software• All topographic features coded into layers and presentation of features can be customised.• Much greater flexibility over presentation of image and integration with other data.• Greater complexity in availability and use of software.
