A new website for the UK Location Programme has gone live: http://location.defra.gov.uk/

This is a point of reference for the whole programme including the UK implementation of the EU INSPIRE Directive.

In related news, the first UK Location Programme Annual Report (2008-2009) is scheduled for publication in late January 2010.

About the UK Location Programme

The UK Location Programme, led by Defra, has been established to implement both the UK Government's Location Strategy, and the EU INSPIRE Directive.

The Programme's objective is to deliver a significant change in the management of geographic or spatial data - one that introduces a new, innovative, and joined up service for government, business and citizens - not only from within the UK but also across the European Union.
