Geospatial Data for UK's Smart City Demonstrator Project

摘要

Ordnance Survey (OS) is currently in Manchester, UK, collecting geospatial data to a similar level that it did across all the 2012 Olympic sites. That project contributed to the successful planning and smooth delivery of a safe and enjoyable Summer Games. The activity OS is undertaking in the Corridor Manchester area is part of CityVerve, the UK's Smart City demonstrator project. OS is collecting this data to stimulate innovation that it and project partners believe will lead to better services for residents, visitors and business. OS, whose digital database of Great Britain contains more than 500 million unique geographic features presenting the most detailed, location-data-rich picture of the country, is challenging itself through CityVerve to see what extra information can be found in the real world that will be of benefit to the nation.
