Introducing CadCorp software
No change?
Minimal visible change…

Digimap Re-engineering
Phase I of Digimap Re-engineering now complete:
• New Digimap architecture now established, using Cadcorp Geognosis, with migration from previous 1Spatial/Laserscan Gothic
• Significant improvements in efficiency, capacity, stability and performance
• OS Collection has a new mapping client: Roam
• Carto (advanced mapping service) now using new Geognosis-based architecture
Phase II of Digimap Re-engineering concentrates on the Geology, Marine and Historic Digimap Collections…

Feedback on Roam
• I love it, what an improvement. • The response when moving the 'slippy' maps was especially
impressive for the Master Map scales. • The PDF print quality was excellent, even when enlarged • This new Digimap service is excellent, a massive improvement…• After one very short experience, this looks as if it could be a
very useful facility for students who want to produce maps quickly and without investing too much time in learning, but which is much more flexible than Classic.
• Brilliant new service! • I really like this feature - it is very easy and very useful
(especially just before an assignment deadline). • Using Roam for the first time, I am genuinely impressed with the
improvements in functionality, speed and ease of use. Give your development team a pat on the back from me.

Historic Digimap Re-engineering
• Historic Download– new data download client – select and download map
sheets– all historical map data currently available – historical Town Plans
• Ancient Roam (working title)
– new historical map viewer, based on Roam delivery model
– provides all currently available historical maps, plus the Town Plans through a much improved, intuitive interface
• Existing mapping application will be run in parallel with Ancient Roam until it is taken out of service in September 2010

Going Mobile…
• JISC funded scoping study to investigate alternative access to services
• User Engagement– Collaboration with UCL, City,
Nottingham and Leicester– Proposed engagement with
Oxford, Bristol and OU
• Technical Evaluation• Build a working
application

Building a working application
• Develop demo apps that use OS data on mobile devices
• How easy it is to put apps/tools into iStore and other locations?
• Mobile-friendly data packages to download from Digimap?

• Web-savvy• Can Web 2.0 help?
– Wikis, blogs, forums, knowledgebases, social networking sites, instant messaging, Twitter…
• Digimap’s support infrastructure needs to keep up!
![Page 19: Progress is impossible without change… Emma Sutton EDINA Geoservices Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55160153550346cf6f8b5b83/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Endless possibilities…
• From Digimap, other services have arisen:– Unlock– Go-Geo!– ShareGeo
