Raster v vector
• “A raster image is a computerized picture. If you have a raster image file, you can overlay additional … data, such as street maps or customer locations, on top of the image. Raster images consist of rows of tiny dots. In contrast, objects in vector images contain coordinate based data structures represented by x and y coordinates.”

Section 2 - Ordnance Survey“Ordnance Survey is Great Britain's national mapping agency, providing the most accurate and up-to-date geographic data, relied
on by government, business and individuals.”
Some recent issues:
• Income generation and cost recovery• Greater imbalances of surveying• Greater costs of large-scale mapping• Greater concern over copyright and IPR• Focus on core mapping - provision contracted out to Partners and
Mapping and Data Centres. Greater liberty to vary prices locally around core parameters.
• Disposal of historic mapping
