Cadcorp enhances support for OSI and OSNI data formats
Database management options enabled
Digital mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) software developer, Cadcorp, has announced the launch of two new applications to enable loading and maintenance of Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI) and Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) large scale data into Oracle and PostGIS databases.
The Cadcorp OSI Data Manager and the Cadcorp OSNI Data Manager are available free of charge to customers who have purchased Cadcorp SIS Map Editor or Map Modeller. The new applications allow users to load NTF data supplied by their national mapping agency directly into their chosen database.
The new applications add to the data management capabilities already available in Cadcorp SIS. Users can choose to create a single repository of map data thus taking advantage of centralised, secure, database-based administration of their base map, or can continue using the existing built-in file-based tiling capabilities of Cadcorp SIS.
When loaded into any of the products in the Cadcorp SIS suite, including the desktop GIS range and GeognoSIS, the appearance of the data remains unchanged when compared to the original NTF tiled form. Updates of OSI and OSNI NTF data can also be applied to the database; with duplicate data automatically identified and removed.
“The Cadcorp OSI Data Manager and the Cadcorp OSNI Data Manager applications offer users of OSI and OSNI data similar database management capabilities to those already available to Cadcorp users of OS (GB) MasterMap data”, said Mike O’Neil, managing director, Cadcorp. “These new options provide significant data management benefits to users of both OSI and OSNI data”.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
