OS National Geospatial Database (OS NGD)
Delivering the next generation of authoritative data from Ordnance Survey
The OS National Geographic Database (NGD) is a new single store for all of Ordnance Survey’s authoritative data. The data in the NGD has been transformed to provide the detail you need for improved analysis. It is structured into themes, collections and feature types.
OS NGD Themes
OS NGD Address
Part of the OS National Geographic Database (NGD), the OS NGD Address theme provides high quality addressing with key identifiers, additional attributes and daily updates. With full coverage of Great Britain as standard, there is an option to extend coverage to Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The data is supplied in an easy-to-use data structure making it simpler to work with and more accessible to non-address experts.
