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 principles 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 Exhibition in Stratford-upon-Avon , 19-20 September.
