This document summarizes the key terms and conditions for using map data from Digimap, including the Ordnance Survey's Licensed Data and OpenData. It explains that Licensed Data is only for non-commercial use by authorized users, while OpenData has fewer restrictions under the Open Government License. Authorized users generally include students, staff and contractors affiliated with subscribing institutions. Permitted uses include educational and research purposes. Vector data cannot be shared publicly or used commercially, while raster images have fewer restrictions. Institutions are responsible for ensuring authorized access and compliance with the license terms.

Licensed Data versus OpenData • All map data in Digimap OS Collection is created and supplied by Ordnance Survey, Britain’s national mapping agency. – Data only covers England, Scotland and Wales – Northern Ireland has it’s own Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (also known as Land and Property Services) • Today covers the terms and conditions of Licensed Data. • Some OS map products also available under the OS OpenData scheme. – covered by a different licence, the OpenGovernment licence (OGL) – Commercial use permitted – http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ • There is no overlap. Data are either covered by the Digimap licence or the OpenGovernment Licence.
How do I know if it’s Licensed Data or OpenData? • Roam: – Information is available in the Map Information panel • Data Download: – Find out in Product Information boxes – Click on Info next to product name in Select Data panel – Text file sent with each download detailing which licence covers each data product
Licence Agreements Structure • Master Agreement between OS and Jisc Collections • Sub-Licence Agreement between Jisc Collections and the Institution – Rights, responsibilities and obligations on the Subscribing Institution • End User Licence Agreement (EULA) between end users and Ordnance Survey – Rights, responsibilities and obligations on the end user • The licence runs until 31 July 2016
What is the End User Licence Agreement (EULA)? • The EULA contains the terms and conditions under which every user of the data is bound • Users accept the terms of the EULA on each access • View the full agreement, along with FAQs, on Digimap Resource Centre: – http://digimap.edina.ac.uk/webhelp/digimapsupport/ access/licence_agreements.htm • FAQs are updated when the need arises
Who can use the Licensed Data? • Authorised User – an individual who: – is authorised by an institution to have access to its information services via Secure Authentication – has completed EDINA’s registration process for the Digimap service and has accepted the terms of the licence AND is: • a current student, • member of staff (whether permanent, temporary or retired) • consultant or contractor of the Institution who is employed for purposes of teaching or undertaking research • Note there are qualifications of this definition…
Qualifications • Users do not quality as Authorised Users for the duration of extended periods abroad (extended period is more than one academic term). • Students and staff members registered at an overseas campus do not qualify as Authorised Users (but will qualify for the duration of any period spent studying in the UK at that institution). • Consultants or contractors only qualify for the period necessary to fulfil the teaching or research for which they were engaged.
Some clarifications… • Distance learning students only qualify as Authorised Users if they are in the UK. • Institutions must decide whether an individual is eligible for “membership” status at that institution and issue authorisation credentials accordingly. • If your institution won’t vouch for you and issue you with login details, you cannot become an Authorised User. • You automatically cease to be an Authorised User when you leave the UK.
Permitted uses • Educational Use: – teaching, learning, academic and sponsored research and/or private study (includes distance learning from within the UK, not from overseas) • Limited Administrative Use: – publish mapping images in promotional literature or web, to show campus location/extent, event locations, directions, promote subscription to Digimap service – Incorporate mapping images in Youtube videos, for demonstration or promotion of the service
What can I do with the Licensed Data? Note: this is not exhaustive! Contact EDINA if in any doubt that your proposed use of the OS data is permitted. • Incorporate the data into academic works, presentation materials, research works and teaching materials • Publish maps in journals (no size limits specified); images must be no larger than necessary to fulfil the purpose of the map • Display, view, interrogate, manipulate, modify, search and otherwise use the Licensed Data • Print copies of the Licensed Data
What can I do with the Licensed Data? • Download and store data to any Device (EULA section 3.1) • Share: – copies with other authorised users (same and different institutions) (EULA section 3.1.3) – supply copies to and receive from PSMA (England & Wales) or OSMA (Scotland) members (EULA section 4) • Create a Navigational Product/Service as part of your course provided the resultant service is only available to Authorised Users for the current academic year (EULA section 3.4) • Deposit electronic copies of maps in institutional repositories (EULA section 3.2 and 3.3.5)
Publishing Maps • On paper and in electronic form, including on the Web • Provided mapping images are: – in raster format only – not georeferenced – no larger than necessary – include additional information • And provided that: – adequate steps taken to ensure third parties cannot access, use and extract any OS data from such materials • Social media – you can post map images to Twitter and YouTube, but not Facebook • Books – require separate licence
Vector vs Raster From the End User Licence Agreement definitions: • Raster Format/Image – means a mapping image made up of millions of individual pixels in a grid, where the information stored within each pixel corresponds to the colour or value of that pixel only. – Otherwise known as a bitmap and/or a static map image, a raster image has no 'intelligence‘, has no relation to the adjacent pixels. • Vector Format/Image – means a representation of the mapping made up of individual, geographic or cartographic features comprising points, lines, areas and attributes, (including cartographic text), relating to the real world. – In contrast to a Raster Image, vector data is a flexible and intelligent form of data which can be edited, modified and scaled without affecting the basic feature itself.
Vector versus Raster
Sharing Data • You may share data with other Authorised Users – from your institution and other institutions • You are obliged to keep a written record of: – the names and addresses of the receiving/supplying party – what Ordnance Survey Licensed Data was received / supplied – when the Ordnance Survey Licensed Data was received /supplied – if asked, you will need to provide your records. • Must NOT share Points of Interest data
Can I supply data to my research sponsors? • Commercial sponsor – can supply final report with any map images, not data (unless the sponsor has a licence from OS for the same data for non-commercial purposes) • Government department – can share data if they are members of Public Sector Mapping Agreement/One Scotland Mapping Agreement (PSMA/OSMA) and are licensed for same map products for same area

Historic, Geology, Marine and Environment Digimap • Terms are very similar for these four Collections • Different from OS Collection • Rights chain remains the same: – Data Provider licenses to Jisc Collections – Jisc Collections licenses to Subscribing/Authorised Institution – Individual users agree to stick to the terms of the sub- licence – NO EULA for these Collections
Authorised Users of Other Collections • Concept of Authorised User remains key – Definition varies slightly between Collections – Walk-in users permitted – Marine Digimap does NOT permit users overseas to be Authorised Users • Licences are generally less specific than the Ordnance Survey licence – More grey areas – There are positives and negatives about this!
