Snowflake Software’s GO Loader enables DNF referencing
Snowflake Software announces that the latest release of its OS MasterMap® loading tool – GO Loader – will offer full support for the Digital National Framework (DNF) feature catalogue.
The Digital National Framework is becoming increasingly popular as public and private corporations are being required to share data. DNF principals are now being employed across applications in Land and Property, Environment, Utilities and Transport. By referencing a well known DNF Reference Object within the DNF Reference Base, applications across organisations can now share data, increase efficiency and improve accuracy.
To help drive the acceptance of DNF, the DNF Expert Group has put together a Feature Catalogue containing the definitions and descriptions of the OS MasterMap features classified as DNF Reference Objects. It is this Feature Catalogue that is now being integrated with Snowflake’s GO Loader product, enabling customers to load their OS MasterMap holding into a database structure aligned to the DNF Reference Base.
“It was a natural step for Snowflake Software to take, given our strong involvement with DNF from the beginning,” explains Ian Painter of Snowflake Software. “Enabling GO Loader users to load OS MasterMap into a structure aligned to the DNF Reference Base will give our customers a head start with data sharing and best practice.”
Snowflake Software will be demonstrating GO Loader at the AGI 2007 in Stratford-upon-Avon, 19-20 September.

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…
