Making a difference the UK Location Strategy Good maps and location intelligence can help determine how quickly our ambulances turn up, where a policeman patrols, how we act in a national emergency. Knowing more about where we live can help us make the best decisions. But across the Country there is still too little sharing of the best practice and we are wasting time and money trying to find the information we need. The Location Strategy will ensure we make better use of information already held so we can use it faster and with less expense.

The public data principles state that: Public data will be published in reusable, machine readable form Public data will be available and easy to find through a single easy to use online access point (www.data.gov.uk) Public data will be published using open standards and following the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium Any raw dataset will be represented in linked data form More public data will be released under an open licence which enables free reuse, including commercial reuse, e.g. OS OpenData Data underlying the Governments own websites will be published in reusable form for others to use Personal, classified, commercially sensitive and third-party data will continue to be protected. Governments open data policy aims to promote transparency, empower citizens and deliver economic value

Editor's Notes
- #5: Scenario to be explained. An outbreak of an infectious animal disease (in this case for poultry) has been reported. A team has been set up to assess and contain the outbreak. Some information on the location of the diseased animals is known based on reports from the local farmer and inspectors. Information is also known on other poultry in the vicinity who disease status is as yet unknown. The challenge is to isolate the affected area by placing restrictions of movement on vehicles and individuals (e.g. ramblers) on roads and tracks. However, this alone is not seen as sufficient to contain the spread of the disease. The infection is known to spread by air and has been reported to have been previously carried in water via nearby streams. A further risk is transmission into other types of birds (e.g. to local wild bird colonies). While some prior experience of handling such a case the team are dealing with a highly dynamic situation that can change by the hour and that may require multiple sources of information to be called upon in a dynamic manner
- #14: To facilitate communications with stakeholders we have explained, in lay persons language, what INSPIRE will involve in a UK context.
- #23: This section of the presentation describes the range of end user / business applications that the UKLII will support. The full range is obviously not described, but the emphasis of the slides is to highlight the difference that the UKLII will make compared to the current situation. The UKLII supports many of the Governments digital engagement commitments to increase access to Public Sector Information and to link it through the data.gov.uk initiative and to directly support actions identified in the Putting the Frontline First: Smarter Government White Paper. The recently announced OS OpenData is part of this agenda.
- #24: The UKLII is not limited to just information about land. The INSPIRE Regulations cover land, sea and air information, allowing seamless integration of information across these domains. This ease of integration opens up a range of new applications that are currently very difficult or costly to attempt. For many applications, the cost of cleaning and integrating data can be as high as 50% of the total project costs. Coastal zone management requires a wide range of marine, estuary and land information to be integrated. The mitigation of natural hazards, such as flooding, requires meteorological, hydrology, terrain, property, infrastructure, for example. Climate change also requires a wide range of information, but importantly requires the temporal aspects to track changes over time.
- #25: Increasingly, real-time location information is becoming available through ground and space based sensors, ubiquitous GPS devices, crowdsourcing and location enabled social networks like Facebook. The availability of this information will only open up a whole range of new and enhanced applications if the information is interoperable this is the UKLII value add. Examples of applications using real-time location information are traffic navigation and management, logistics in delivery services, crowdsourced information to support disaster management and recovery and the wide range of Location Based Services epitomised by the iPhone applications. Location Based Social Network revenues estimated to reach US$3.3 billion by 2013.
- #26: The benefits of the UKLII are not just focussed in the 3 rd and private sector domains. Many benefits will accrue in the public sector. There has been a paradigm shift from Spatial Information Management to Managing Information Spatially that allows a wide range of socio-economic information to be spatially enabled and spatially analysed. Applications will increasingly provide evidence for policy formulation. Through the adoption of common information interoperability standards across the UK, it will be easier to integrate a wider range of datasets and to analyse information across administrative and regional boundaries. Applications include using geo-demographics to understand user needs for services and targeting services more effectively, crime analysis and prevention, flooding risk assessment and UK wide biodiversity.
- #27: The challenges of the new millennium of climate change, food security, fuel shortages, population growth, environmental degradation and natural disasters, for example, do not adhere to national boundaries these are regional and global phenomena. Therefore, we need to share our information with regional and global partners to help inform solutions to these global challenges.
