In addition to our Digimap for Schools service, we also have a WMS of the Ordnance Survey data we use called MapStream. This is a paid for WMS and the intention is to promote it in schools to use with open source GIS to help provide a low cost solution to schools who want to start using desktop GIS (primarily) but still need the non open OS data. Part of the promotion would also be the inclusion of open data services to add value and richness.<br><br>It's early days for us on this, as we've had to focus our energies on the Digimap for Schools service. But we will be ramping up the effort on MapStream in early 2012, so any support and advice from OS Geo UK would be a big help. Myself and Peter Wells have already had a couple of chats round this, so have some ideas floating around on what we can do to help support schools wanting to go down this route.....<br><br>cheers<br>Carol<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#999999'>Carol Blackwood</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#999999'><br>Geoservices Support <br>EDINA National Data Centre<br>Tel: +44 (0)131 650 3179<br><a href="http://edina.ac.uk">http://edina.ac.uk</a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br>On 20/12/2011 08:56, Jo Cook wrote: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi Denis, <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I think the UK chapter could do something here.
