File naming

OS MasterMap Highways Network core products (Roads, Routing and Asset Management Information, and Paths)

The file naming for the OS MasterMap Highways Network GML will be constructed as Highways_ProductName_FeatureType_SupplyType_NullorDelete_volumenumber.gml.gz, where:

  • Highways identifies that the GML is from the OS MasterMap Highways Network product family.

  • ProductName is the name of the product that is being supplied, for example, Roads.

  • FeatureType is the name of the feature type that is being supplied in the GML file, for example, RoadLink.

  • SupplyType is the type of supply the GML is, for example, Full or COU.

  • NullorDelete will not be present in any GML file names if the GML forms part of a full supply. If the GML forms part of a COU supply, then Delete will identify if the file contains all the features which need removing from the customer holding as a part of the COU application.

  • volumenumber will be the volume number for the file, which will be three digits, and the first volume will be 001.
