Details

This list displays the following:

  • Themes/topics and relevant data publishers
  • commonly searched terms, keywords or phrases related to thematic areas/topics
  • A data publisher can sit under multiple themes (i.e. BGS may have entries under planning, construction and environment themes as their data can be used in these areas)
  • This list is not a list of data sets
  • The authoritative data column simply means whether this organisation is a trusted source of data in this thematic area.
  • Authoritative data status does not indicate that the data provider is the main provider of data in a thematic area, or that they are the sole provider. It relates to good data management and quality of data published (see authoritative data tool).

This list is regularly reviewed. If you have any feedback or comments about this list, please email us at geospatialcommission@cabinetoffice.gov.uk
