# OS Open UPRN Technical Specification

## Product overview

OS Open UPRN is an open dataset that contains the position of each record held within [AddressBase Premium](/os-downloads/products/addresses-and-names-portfolio/addressbase-premium.md) along with the unique identifier – the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN).

The product allows users to link and associate datasets by using either the UPRN or the position of the address point. It is designed to bridge the gap between disparate data sets and enable the wider adoption of the UPRN to encourage greater data sharing.

This data is usable in a GIS application and can also be integrated into a spatial database.
