# ORRoadLink\_GUID\_RoadLink\_TOID\_12

This document aims to provide all the information to evaluate if the method of associating the respective identifiers is suitable for your needs. These identifier relationships have been extracted from existing premium products and are presented in a standalone table for easy and open access to the information. It describes which product the information was extracted from, what information was extracted and how the source product derived the original association between the identifiers.

## Relationship Extraction <a href="#bookmark43" id="bookmark43"></a>

This relationship is between the unique identifier (GUID) of the RoadLink features in *OS Open Roads* and the Topographic Identifier (TOID) of RoadLink features in *OS MasterMap Highways Network* which represent the same feature.

The relationship is extracted from the OS Open Roads Lookup table which is supplied with the *OS Master Map Highways Network – Roads*. This table provides the TOID of the RoadLink feature in the *OS MasterMap Highways Network* and the GUID of the ORRoadLink feature in *OS Open Roads* which represent the same feature in *OS Open Roads*.

## Correlation Method <a href="#bookmark44" id="bookmark44"></a>

This relationship is determined using the OS Open Roads Lookup table which is supplied with the *OS Master Map Highways Network – Roads*. This table provides the TOID of the RoadLink feature in the *OS MasterMap Highways Network* and the GUID of the ORRoadLink feature in *OS Open Roads* which represent the same feature in *OS Open Roads*. This relationship is created by Ordnance Survey using a spatial match between systematically sampled points along the two line feature datasets.

The two source products for these identifiers are on different refresh cycles. *OS MasterMap Highways Network - Roads* is updated monthly, whereas *OS Open Roads* is updated every six months. As this product utilises published source products, the current data available for each identifier might have changed and therefore the relationship may not still be valid.

A Confidence Value is assigned to indicate the reliability of the version information provided in this product in relation to the version of the features used to form the correlation in the original product. The Confidence Value is given for each relationship, which is defined as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="420">Confidence Value</th><th>Definition</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Version information is correct</td><td>The version information provided is the same as the version of the feature used to create the correlation.</td></tr><tr><td>Version information has potentially changed</td><td>The version information could be different from the version of the feature that was used to create the correlation.</td></tr><tr><td>Version information has changed</td><td>The version information provided is different from the version of the feature used to create the correlation.</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/~/changes/AJZwzCsyrD9hiTbOxIbO/identifiers/os-open-linked-identifiers/os-open-linked-identifiers-technical-specification/orroadlink_guid_roadlink_toid_12.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
