About us
Geospatial data describes where places, objects and people are in relation to a geographic location. Whether in the air, on the ground, at sea or under our feet. These data can be static, such as the address of a school or an image of the coastline taken from space. They can also be dynamic, showing the journey of an intercity train or ambulance on its way to a hospital. These data are important across the economy and in the delivery of public services.
This blog shares geospatial best practices and knowledge, to help the UK harness the full potential of location data. This includes contributions from our working and strategy groups, and insight from industry stakeholders.
It is managed by the Government Digital Service. We are the digital centre of government. We serve the public, central government departments and the wider public sector.
GDS is part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
