“The Geospatial Commission was set up in 2018 to ensure that the UK maximizes the chances of society, the economy and the environment. The new agreement fulfills our commitment to improve access to key Ordnance survey data for start-ups, businesses and innovators. Members of the public sector will be able to access most of these APIs free of charge from January 2021. Geographical data, which is location data, strengthens UK utilities such as emergency planning, building our homes, protecting our environment, supporting our transport and supporting our security services to protect us. The Geospatial Commission announced today that it will increase public sector location data in England and Wales. Most public sector organizations can register as members of the PSGA. And more than 5,000 public institutions and organizations are already registered. “In addition, the freedom of government to exchange data is an exciting change; New opportunities for the future. Data on real estate expansion is essential in our industry, so providing existing data sources will allow everyone to have better access, understanding and clarity.
Ultimately, PSGA supports the opportunity for greater innovation in the sector, and Landmark looks forward to working with its customers and partners to take advantage of the market benefits. The PSGA explains how Ordnance Survey (OS) provides partners, developers and the UK public sector with world-leading expertise – how we support the provision of critical infrastructure and services – from blue light to streetlights. Public sector organizations can access our essential data and services when they register for the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) SIS. Gazette. The Space Information Service (SIS) represents the interests of local communities under the public sector geospatial agreement (PSGA). This replaced the previous One Scotland Mapping Agreement (OSMA) on 19 May 2020. It allows the entire Scottish public sector to access and use geographic data products (and other organisations) from Ordnance Survey (and other organisations) for commercial purposes. The agreement builds on what we are currently proposing, with: If your organization is not mentioned above, read the criteria for establishing public law. If you meet these requirements, you can register as a member. These include new opportunities for access to broader data and greater freedom for public institutions to disclose it.
This magnitude of change is necessary by improving licenses and exchanging location-based data to improve opportunities for new data-based innovations.
