# File naming

## GML file names <a href="#bookmark16" id="bookmark16"></a>

The file naming for the OS MasterMap Highways Network GML will be constructed as:

*Highways\_ProductName\_FeatureType\_SupplyType\_NullorDelete\_volumenumber.gml.gz*.&#x20;

The name is composed of the following elements:

* ***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 Supply or COU.
* ***NullorDelete***: This 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.

## **Examples of the GML file names:**

* Highways\_Roads\_RoadLink\_Full\_001.gml.gz
* Highways\_Rrami\_AccessRestriction\_Full\_001.gml.gz
* Highways\_Paths\_Maintenance\_Full\_001.gml.gz

## GeoPackage file names <a href="#bookmark17" id="bookmark17"></a>

The file naming for the OS MasterMap Highways Network GeoPackage will be constructed as:

*OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkProductName\_gb.gpkg*.

**Examples of GeoPackage file names:**

* OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkRoad\_gb.gpkg
* OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkPath\_gb.gpkg
* OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkRAMI\_gb.gpkg

## Vector tiles file names <a href="#bookmark18" id="bookmark18"></a>

The file naming for the OS MasterMap Highways Network vector tiles will be constructed as:

*OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkProductName\_gb.mbtiles*

**Examples of the vector tiles file names:**

* OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkRoad\_gb.mbtiles
* OSMasterMapHighwaysNetworkPath\_gb.mbtiles

# 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/networks/os-mastermap-highways-network-core-principles/os-mastermap-highways-network-getting-started-guide/file-naming.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.
