Mapping
Ordnance Survey (OS) launched a new national mapping system in November 2002
replacing the LandLine Map that Land Registry currently uses. OS MasterMap is
a single intelligent map without edges made up of layers, each providing an
information theme such as roadways and land types. It offers many benefits,
including enhanced spatial searches.
We have been in close discussion with OS on the timing of the planned withdrawal
of LandLine. As their largest single customer we hope to choose the best time
for the transition and we are working closely to ensure that any changeover
does not cause major business interruption. We intend to make best use of MasterMap's
new features and a project team plans to build a prototype system to demonstrate
the potential benefits of adopting MasterMap data.
