Ordnance Survey (OS) is launching an international service intended to make its expertise about data collection and maintenance, product development and geospatial data management available to overseas governments. To be known as Ordnance Survey International, the new organisation will be launched in September. It will be headed by Steven Ramage, former executive director at the Open Geospatial Consortium, a global body developing open geospatial standards.
