Three initiatives from Ordnance Survey to support open innovation are described. The initiatives include releasing geospatial data through the OS OpenData program to enable third party apps, the OS OpenSpace program which runs challenges to address community needs using geographic information, and establishing an open innovation network. Examples are given of apps created using OS OpenData including tourism and event mapping apps. The benefits of open innovation through collaborations between public, private, and community groups are discussed.

- 4. OS OpenData Example http:// www.icoast.co.uk / ICoast is a free website built by One Bright Space for Dorset County Council. It is a tourist site giving information about activities around Dorset. It uses a customised style of OS VectorMap District in conjunction with Land-Form PANORAMA to create a unique looking map. This alongside the quality of the user experience and the amount of data available make this an impressive application. http://www.cathedralcityguide.co.uk/2011/06/winchester-hat-fair-iphone-app/ The city of Winchester’s Hat Fair is the UK’s longest running ‘street entertainment’ festival and offers a vibrant programme of music, theatre and comedy. For this year’s festival a free IPhone application was created to guide visitors to attractions and events around the city.
- 5. OS OpenData Example www.moremap.co.uk MoreMap is a large scale national mapping content service from InfoTerra. The organisation has further developed vector extraction algorithms to provide buildings and other vectors from OS OpenData products. http:// free.findmaps.co.uk / Find maps is a map portal that allows users to create, customise, annotate and pdf maps. Find gives instant access to OS OpenData and also provides a simple and useful cartographic toolset that enables users to use OS OpenData to customise their own maps. OS OpenData used on the site are OS BoundaryLine, OS VectorMap District, OS StreetMap, Meridian 2, 1:250k raster and OS LandForm Panorama
