【 摘 要 】

Current developments within the information technology industry are creating new opportunities for traditional information suppliers such as Ordnance Survey. In particular the ability to electronically trade information creates opportunities to increase the use of Ordnance Survey’s topographic information inways that can be go beyond the delivery of such data in the form of a map. The future development of a semantic web may create new business opportunities particularly for the mobile connected user who may access Ordnance Survey information through an application without ever realising it. More generallythe ability to semantically translate between one information source and others may reduce both the time and cost of services better enabling joined-up government and industry. In response to these challenges Ordnance Survey has embarked upon research to investigate the development of a topographic ontologyto underpin our data and to investigate how it may be used to support interoperation with other information sources and information based services. This paper describes some of the potential applications for ontologies at Ordnance Survey.
