Ordnance Survey data and GIS
Ordnance Survey produces many different GIS data products – the diversity of these products is itself an indication of the many different ways in which GIS can be used. They range from simple raster images of road atlas style mapping, to very detailed vector data extracted from the National Topographic Database, which is Great Britain's official archive of large-scale mapping. This database is incredibly detailed – it shows every house, every fence, and every stream in every single part of Great Britain.
