With an increasing number of infrastructure programmes underway worldwide there is a high level of activity around geospatial data management. This includes activities to facilitate road and streetworks improvements for example to reduce congestion and comply with legislation. Having worked directly and through our partner network with organisations, such as Transport for London, the Department for Transport, The Highways Agency and Tele Atlas, 1Spatial understands some of the challenges caused by legacy recording of different views of the network. 1Spatial specialises in producing a single view of the network by integrating or conflating multiple views. This means it is easier for the organisation to keep its asset records up-to-date. 1Spatial is in a unique position to deliver generalized schematics from this single network view.
Address Data Management
In certain sectors, such as Emergency Services many facilities that are important in emergency responses do not have addresses that conform to postal standards. There are no standards or dictionary terms to support gazetteer extensions. This means that such address-based databases are error prone and their maintenance is time consuming. Even worse the data cannot be exchanged successfully with other emergency services and the response may be directed to the wrong location. Using the data integration environment provided by 1Spatial organisations can tackle incomplete or inaccurate data. As an example, if you are working in a Police Force you may be struggling to publish accurate crime statistics that make use of location, we can help. If you are looking for data quality improvements in matching address data with mapping data then read on.

INSPIRE Training
As a European Directive, INSPIRE (the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) raises a series of political, organisational and technological challenges. This training programme has been devised in a modular format to help address the different aspects of INSPIRE and outline how your organisation can actually benefit from working on INSPIRE. The training caters for different job roles in stakeholder organisations, such as Legally Mandated Organisations (LMOs) and Spatial Data Interest Communities (SDICs).

Model Generalisation
The difficult task of deriving smaller scale maps or geodata products from more detailed existing source is known as generalisation. Producing digital data at different scales is time consuming. Using computer software algorithms releases personnel to work on higher value tasks and increases the frequency of product update releases. 1Spatial has been involved in one of the largest European generalisation projects in the last 20 years working with the AdV, the working committee that coordinates the official surveying for the 16 federal state survey offices in Germany. As a result of that work and other projects with organisations, such as KMS Denmark, IGN Belgium, IGN France and Ordnance Survey Great Britain, we have developed solutions to automatically generate data from one scale to another while maintaining data integrity. The scale change is performed by model generalisation and is done completely at the data model level without taking into account map display or representation.
A part of the project at AdV and a common generalisation requirement is to make time and cost savings as well as enable data owners to release more frequent updates of their products, often also to be achieved by automating the process. The process of updating their products is also done from a single master dataset. Given the wide range of algorithms available in the 1Spatial generalisation suite, other organisations have used this same environment for data volume reduction, for example shape point reduction for digital mapping data to enable it to fit onto small devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Spatial Data Auditing and Cleaning
Data audits can help you understand and measure the quality of your data assets; today's businesses have large investments in digital geographic information. The physical environment changes are rapidly impacting the accuracy of the data amongst other things. 1Spatial offers tools and services to undertake data auditing and data cleaning as iterative processes. Our consultants will meet with you to discuss your requirements and suggest alternative methodologies for tackling your particular situation. As an example, data integration or data migration projects - pulling together data from multiple sources or providing solutions for managing the change only updates of your base reference mapping. Establishing the state of the data from the outset and providing a quantitative assessment of data quality will help you estimate the scale of projects and whether or not it is feasible in the allocated time frame and available budget.

Spatial Data Conformance Checking
When creating a new product or updating an existing product or system that relies on geospatial data, organisations need to be able to validate quickly and effectively the integrity of the data being used. 1Spatial offers this facility both as licensed software or as a service. The benefit of these validation services is, that organisations can base decisions on business rules relating to the data. Our approach is to store the business rules, for example data specifications in Excel spreadsheets and check the level of conformance of the data against the business rules. This will provide a quantitative assessment of data conformance and can be fed into enterprise dashboards or data monitoring programme to continuously assess, fix and improve geospatial data.
