Directory of research and development based on Ordnance Survey small scales digital data

Visvalingam, M.; Kirby, G.H.

Abstract

From the Foreword:
Although Digital Topographic Data can be used to assist in the
production of some Ordnance Survey (OS) maps it has been clear
for some years that the justification for the capture of digital
data has to be that users require it, and are willing to buy it.
In order to achieve this situation it is necessary that users
discover applications which make the data a desirable commodity
and that OS design the structure and format of the data so as to
satisfy as many potential customers as possible.
Both of these conditions depend on research activities. For
this reason OS has been happy to support the collection of
information for the first edition of this Directory. Ideally it
should serve to promote an exchange of ideas between researchers
in similar fields, to bring together possible partners for
collaborative ventures, to avoid duplication of effort, to
publicise applications for digital data and thus to enable OS to
improve the data itself with experience gained.
