They were: Edinburgh Castle, Stonehenge, the Eden Project and St Paul's Cathedral. Many thanks Gemma Hi Claire

]]> Comment on New Linked Data service launches by Gemma http://blog.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/2013/06/new-linked-data-service-launches/#comment-452817 Gemma Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:53:08 +0000 http://blog.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/?p=10434#comment-452817 Hi Stephan I believe a colleague emailed you direct on this, but just to confirm: For this latest iteration of our linked data service, we have updated both the Code-Point Open and Boundary-Line datasets – both sets have May 2013 as latest update. Our intention is to update these datasets, in line with the current update regimes (quarterly for Code-Point Open & every 6 months for Boundary-Line). We will however be looking at the levels of demand for these URIs over the coming months, to determine the benefits and costs of providing updated Linked Open data formats that will continue to meet user needs. Many thanks Gemma Hi Stephan

I am lucky to have a particularly rich wildlife haven literally on my doorstep, yet it is threatened by a plan to put a cycle route through it, despite its SSSI status.
