The challenges have been met with success in the completion of the national digital large scale database in 1995, the completion of a national address database in early 1996 and a national high resolution digital height model. Having prepared a continuous model of Britain's topography it would now be easy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labours. That will not happen if we are to retain and build our customer base for geospatial data well into the next millennium. To encourage usage of data, not just that of Ordnance Survey (OS), but any geospatially related data in Britain, OS has proposed the concept of a National Geospatial Database. The national benefits of integrating data from various government bodies clearly has great potential and this is already being proven in the current trial of a National Land Information Service (NLIS). The most expensive aspect in maintaining geospatial data is the data collection and update process. Imagery has played a significant role in minimising those costs over the past 40 years. Technology is now taking us into new areas where computing and networking power is starting to realise the early visions of increased automation. This paper describes areas of recent advancement and a major research investigation into the potential of high spatial resolution space sensors programmed for launch in the near future. It is already clear that imagery will play an increasing role in maintaining the geospatial databases of the future. 1.2 The database and its products 1. ORDNANCE SURVEYG Britain now has a database which models urban areas at a nominal survey scale of 1:1 250, minor towns and rural areas at 1:2 500 scale and mountain and moorland areas at 1:10 000 scale. 1996 will also witness the completion of the digitising of a national height dataset based on photogrammetric contour surveys (5 and 10 m vertical interval). The address database holds a 1 m National Grid reference for over 23 million addresses. Further databases | model road networks, administrative boundaries and various medium and smaller scale equivalents. 1.4 National Mapping Agency The past five years has witnessed a number of major events and achievements that rank in significance even when compared with the celebration by Ordnance Survey (OS) in 1991 of 200 years continuous operation in providing Britain with a rich mapping base. In early 1995 national large-scale digital data coverage was completed, a national on-demand plot service was launched later that year, and more recently the creation of a national address database was also completed. All this was achieved concurrently with a major internal reorganisation to refocus key elements of the organisation on specific business operations. The next five year period looks to be equally challenging! (Rhind 1995). The main topographic database contains 230,000 data tiles and serves a wide range of customers, our own survey operation - including the work done by contractors. During February 1996 the database reached a new peak of operational performance over a three week period when an access request was serviced on average every ; 2.4 ds (based on a 22 hour operational day). Ordnance Survey has been a government Executive seconds ( perational day) Agency since 1990 and has been increasingly successful in improving its position as the leading supplier of geospatial data and information in Great Britain. OS revenue was £58m during the financial year 1994/95. This is equivalent to a 7896 return on annual expenditure and is globally highly unusual amongst national mapping agencies (Ordnance Survey 1995b). The topographic database currently holds in excess of 200 million features, this includes building outlines, walls, fences and hedges, road limits, names, water features etc. which are managed together to create and maintain a continuous model of the nation. 99 International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
