[Talk-GB] National Map Library of Scotland API

[Bob Kerr]

Hi,
I am please to let you know that the good people of the National Library of Scotland have released an API and data for a selection of maps throughout the UK. 
The library is very keen to engage the OSM community and if all goes well with this introduction will be happy to release further maps in the future.
The data released has some overlap with the data that we already have but it does go into more detail than ours. The license is also compatible with ours.
I am posting this here so that the information can get into the right hands and be verified etc.
You can either contact me about this or preferably through the contact e-mail on the API page.
Please remember this is the first time that they have done this. The National Library of Scotland is an important institution and would be very benificial for us to have them as our friends, any problems will be slowly ironed out so be respectful.

Cheers
Bob
