Ernest Marples has woken up from his long sleep, because more trouble is
afoot with Ordnance Survey and their friends.
They, along with the Met Office and the Land Registry, are being brought
together under the Public Data Corporation. And a consultation about
their data strategy is running at the moment.
As you might expect, it's not very good. It's been more or less captured
by the established interests, excludes many solutions from the
discussion, and presents options that would more or less maintain the
status quo indefinitely.
We think that -- much like the postcode consultation that you responded
to last year -- it's terribly important for right-thinking people to
respond to the consultation, suggesting better alternatives.
So, I've brushed the dust off the old consultation response page, and
set it up to respond to this one. If you have a few minutes to respond
to the consultation and pass this on to your interested friends and
colleagues, you'll really be helping the cause!
Cheers,
Harry
