[Talk-GB] OSNI Open Data

[Colin Smale]

Thanks Jerry, I had forgotten that NI comes under Ireland ;-) 

I will have a browse through the talk-ie archives and see if I can pick
it up there.

Many of these datasets would be very useful, for instance there is a point data set of streetnames (e.g., when the name of this bit [1] of street was being questioned, or just to do streetnames which are perhaps 10% completed).

However, at some point I used FHRS data to produce concave hulls which would be a first approximation (and no worse than things like the Limerick boundary 3-4 years ago). Also KDDA has some open data for the old Fermanagh district  (on umap here [2]) which may assist in working out the boundaries (as will townland and other boundaries). But do check with talk-ie before leaping in.

I am particularly interested in admin boundaries, e.g. http://osni-spatial-ni.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/a55726475f1b460c927d1816ffde6c72_2

>> The website says: "Open Government Data Licence applies.    Land & Property Services (LPS) has made a number of Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland(R) (OSNI(R)) branded datasets available free of charge under the terms of the current Open Government Licence (OGL). These datasets - which include raster and vector mapping, boundary, gazetteer, height, street and townland products - are available for download.  Each dataset is clearly marked with the OGL symbol. The OGL allows you to: copy, distribute and transmit the data; adapt the data; and exploit the data commercially, whether by sub-licensing it, combining it with other data, or including it in your own product or application. You are therefore able to use the LPS datasets in any way and for any purpose. We simply ask that you acknowledge the copyright and the source of the data by including the following attribution statement: Contains LPS Intellectual Property (c) Crown copyright and database right (year)  This information is
licensed under the terms of the Open Government Licence (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3). You must also: include the same acknowledgement requirement in any sub-licences of the data that you grant, and a requirement that any further sub-licences do the same; ensure that you do not use the data in a way that suggests LPS endorses you or your use of the data; and make sure you do not misrepresent the data or its source. N.B. Any dataset that does not expressly state that it has been released under OGL will require a licence from LPS and the appropriate licence fee will be applied."
