# RoadLink\_TOID\_Street\_USRN\_8

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="#bookmark27" id="bookmark27"></a>

This relationship is between the Topographic Identifier (TOID) of the RoadLink features and the Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) of Street features in *OS MasterMap Highways Network*.

A USRN is an 8-digit unique and persistent identifier for a street assigned by a Roads Authority or Highway Authority. Where possible, the geometry of Streets provided by the Roads or Highway Authorities is spatially matched to the geometry of OS RoadLink(s) and an aggregated geometry of the RoadLink(s) will be provided in the *OS MasterMap Highways Network*.

This relationship is extracted using the reference to the RoadLink(s) which have been matched to the Street

feature in the ‘link’ attribute within the *OS MasterMap Highways Network – Roads* product following its

release. This means that this relationship will not include all USRNs in *OS MasterMap Highways*, as Street features that have not been matched to an OS RoadLink will be omitted.

## Correlation Method <a href="#bookmark28" id="bookmark28"></a>

The relationship is determined by the link reference within *OS MasterMap Highways Network*, demonstrating the RoadLink feature(s) of which the matched Street features are composed. Where possible, the geometry of Streets provided by the Roads or Highway Authorities is spatially matched to the geometry of OS RoadLink(s) and an aggregated geometry of the RoadLink(s) will be provided in the *OS MasterMap Highways Network*.

As this relationship is determined using a single source product, the version information provided will always be the same as the version of the feature used to create the correlation.

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 will always be defined in this relationship as:

| Confidence Value               | Definition                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Version information is correct | The version information provided is the same as the version of the feature used to create the correlation. |

# 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/roadlink_toid_street_usrn_8.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.
