Table 23: Street Data Quality and Enrichment: integrating PRoWs
Facilitator: Iris Rodenbuesch, Senior GIS Analyst, GeoPlace
USING STREET DATA
The PRoW network is currently not fully integrated in the NSG and data sources and formats vary. Is there a need to integrate them into the NSG to create a more consistent and standardised PRoW network? And how could this be achieved?
- What is your prow situation? Are they integrated in the LSG?
- If yes, what was your integration process? If not, is there a specific reason? How could we help?
- What data formats are they held in? Do they need to be digitised?
- How could they be linked to an existing ESU/USRN? Will they need to be spatially matched?
- What overall benefits do you see in integrating prow data?
-
