It would be physical paths on the ground.

Interesting. "Detailed path network" in particular looks interesting, is this

Hi all,

Recap: The Ordnance Survey are working with the new Geospatial Commission on 
opening up access to more of their data.

Today this email landed in OSM UK's inbox (you too can subscribe for updates). 
It is a tad confusing because there are releasing things under two different 
routes (free up to a threshold, and fully free under OGL open data licence). 
This is explained on their website [1] but hidden under a FAQ. Here is the text:


OS MasterMap will be made available for free, up to a threshold, through an 
API. This will include:

  *   OS MasterMap Topography Layers, including building heights and functional 
sites
  *   OS MasterMap Greenspace Layer
  *   OS MasterMap Highways Network
  *   OS MasterMap Water Network Layer
  *   OS Detailed Path Network

In addition, key parts of Ordnance Survey's highly detailed OS MasterMap are 
being made completely open under Open Government Licence (OGL). This includes:

  *   Property extents derived from OS MasterMap Topography Layer
  *   Spatial identifiers:
 *   OS MasterMap Topography Layer TOIDs (Topographic Object Identifiers) 
will be incorporated into the features in OS Open Map-Local.
 *   Over the next 12 months the Geospatial Commission will work with 
GeoPlace, LGA, the Improvement Service (on behalf of Scottish Local 
Government), and OS to investigate how best to open up the key identifiers UPRN 
and USRN, together with their respective geometries, for the whole of Great 
Britain under OGL terms. Due to the importance of these identifiers this will 
need to be done in a such a way that protects the integrity and authority of 
these identifiers. A way to give both businesses and public sector 
organisations the confidence to continue to rely on these within their own 
products and services, without restricting their ability to use and benefit 
from them.

UPRN = Unique Property Reference Number
USRN = Unique street reference number

Clearly we feel that "free and without restriction" is not compatible with free 
open data and that they should be going further with their OGL release. This is 
something we will be feeding back. I encourage you to do the same if time 
and/or business interest allows.

They also link to the Geospatial Commission consultation, something that we are 
well into writing an answer. You can continue to feed back via OSM UK, or you 
can submit your own response.

Open MasterMap progress since Policy announcement






Following the Open MasterMap Policy announcement in June by Cabinet Office, 
Ordnance Survey set up the Open MasterMap Implementation Programme (OMMIP) to 
successfully deliver the elements of the announcement 

 that OS is responsible for. We have continued to work closely with the 
Geospatial 
Commission,
 an expert committee within the Cabinet Office, on delivery plans, and we are 
now in a position where we can start to share more of the proposed Outputs for 
your information and feedback.



Details of the proposed 'Utility' APIs and a summary of the proposed delivery 
plan can be found on our website 
>



We believe that the APIs we're proposing will ensure that users have better 
access to our world class mapping and geospatial data, but we'd welcome your 
feedback on these. We have also shared the summary of our proposed delivery 
plan in order to demonstrate several things:

  1.  Our approach to delivery will be collaborative in nature, i.e. co-design 
principles of user testing will influence Outputs
  2.  Outputs will be delivered throughout the programme, rather than a 
'big-bang'.

We're currently working with the Geospatial Commission to agree the more

I noticed that, but only on her phone. The graphic afterwards used to 
explain relative locations was something else.

Who is involved in the Open MasterMap Implementation Programme?

We have formed a Customer Advisory Group which is providing external
feedback on all of the proposed items, made up of a cross-section of
organisations. This Group has been created to provide feedback and help to
steer and shape OMMIP, ensuring most value for the intended audience of the
Policy.
