• To publish INSPIRE related datasets as WMS and WFS

• Existing contractor and end user licenses limited what could be done with data

• Exempted data should remove the need for user registration

• Need to meet expectations of our users - particularly the growth of community led projects

The case for exemption



supports the Government's transparency agenda and will allow members of the public sector agreements to publish more of their derived data on Open Data terms.

You do not need to keep records when you are making your derived data available on Open Data terms.

You just need to have notified us about the derived data you are making available in that manner.

There are some circumstances when records will be required, such as when you are providing Licensed Data to others by other routes

The new download function for CANMORE data, in GIS-ready formats, has made developing thematic mapping or illustrating specific aspects of the historic environment a much more rapid and relatively painless task. In combination with other open access geographic and geological resources it is a valuable tool and facilitates education and dissemination of complex cultural heritage datasets to specialists, students and members of the public alike.

Wider benefits: Wessex Archaeology



AOC Archaeology group provide training to Community groups on how to use CSV and KML data in QGIS and Google earth. The ability to easily download data under an open licence makes mapping archaeology really easy for anyone to do.

"A really sensible step in the right direction to make Canmore data integrate easily with the kind of software that heritage groups and professionals are using.“
