National mapping : funding the public good
Greenway, Iain
Ordnance Survey of Northern Irelandd (OSNII) is recognised as a leading national mapping agency. It has a strong reputation for positioning itself as a public good body - but it has also managed in the last 12 months to reach financial break-even, a state that it sees as allowing it to focus even more on its public good role. The paper will explore the role and context of national mapping agencies, and what has enabled OSNI to develop a track record of success as such an agency, producing data and products valued by its customers and also being at the heart of the Northern Ireland GI strategy and related policy making. Several world-leading developments have been a part of this picture and lessons learned from the work will be shared.
