This section describes the features which make up OS MasterMap Highways Network - Paths. The attributes associated with these feature types are listed below along with a brief description of their data properties.
The name of the attribute and what it is describing.
The nature of the attribute, for example a numeric value or a code list value.
The length of the attribute provided (optional).
Describes how many times this element is expected to be populated in the data. An attribute may be optional or mandatory within the product. These are denoted by:
‘1’ – there must be a value.
‘0..1’ – population is optional but a maximum of one attribute will be returned These values may be used in combination.
Many of the attributes which have been inherited from the INSPIRE Transport Network model have a stereotype of ‘voidable’, for example, “beginLifespanVersion”. Where these attributes have not been populated then there is a requirement to give a reason for this. This will be specified in the GML through an attribute called “nilReason”.
A ConnectingNode is a point feature that identifies where a Path connects to the Road Network. The ConnectingNode connects to the start or end of one or more RoadLinks and provides a reference to one of the RoadLinks it connects to. Connecting Nodes are spatially coincident with RoadNodes and can share the same identifier. The ConnectingNode is referenced by a ConnectingLink.
The context diagram below shows how the ConnectingNode relates to the RoadLink.
Three-dimensional geometry has been applied to ConnectingNode features. This is to facilitate routing that requires coincidence of co-ordinates. Given the nature of connecting feature this geometry is for connectivity purposes only.
A point which connects the Road Network to the Path Network.
Unique identifier; for ConnectingNode, this is a TOID.

The FerryTerminals will also provide a reference to the OS MasterMap Sites feature.
The context diagram shows how the FerryTerminal has been inherited from INSPIRE, the attribution held on the FerryTerminal and how it relates to the other Ferry components.

A Street feature extends and specialises the Road feature and in the Path Network product they will only represent Streets made up of PathLinks. A Street feature is populated from the National and Scottish Street Gazetteers and will exist where their Elementary Street Unit geometry has been matched to only PathLinks. They will represent either the complete Street or a section of a Street within an Administrative Unit, Town, or Locality and provides additional information about who is responsible for its naming and or numbering. A PathLink can be referenced by multiple Street features.
The Street extends the Road feature to provide the additional attribution required to adhere to BS 7666:
USRN: The Unique Street Reference Number is the unique and persistent identifier of a Street assigned by the Roads or Highway Authority.
Street Type: The type of Gazetteer record for which the USRN relates. It is mandatory for all USRNs to be assigned a Street Type.
Operational State: Indicates whether the Street is proposed, under construction, open, or closed (permanently or temporarily).
Responsible Authority: Reference to the authority which performs an administrative function – notably naming and numbering.
A Street will split when it crosses the boundary of an Administrative Area where the local maintenance responsibility changes. A Street could also split at a town or locality boundary to allow properties to be located uniquely upon a street via a unique identifier (i.e. USRN).
In the definitions below, users should read the term Highways as Roads when applied to streets in Scotland.
Any road, footway, path, cycletrack, track or passageway that forms a highway. A highway represents individual subsections of Road which are managed (naming/numbering) by a specified responsible authority.
Constraints: A Street shall have at least one of designatedName (Type 1), descriptor (Type 2), nationalRoadCode (Type 3), or localName (Type 4). If a Street has a descriptor, it shall not have a designatedName.

A PathLink is a linear spatial object that defines the geometry and connectivity of the Path Network between two points in the network. PathLinks will be split for connectivity purposes (for example, at junctions) and PathNodes will connect the PathLinks together. Each PathLink will provide a reference to the PathNodes at the start and end of the PathLink.
A PathLink will be captured where:
They provide a route that cannot be inferred from the Road Network.
They provide connectivity between Road Networks.
There is a canal path or tow path.
There are paths over footbridges and under subways.
There are recreational paths in urban, rural and mountain and moorland areas.
PathLinks will not be captured where:
They run parallel to the Road Network, for example, a pavement.
They are connected to a Motorway.
There is a physical obstruction which prevents connectivity.
PathLinks will split where two PathLinks cross over or under one another when there is no connectivity, for example, at bridges and flyovers. Therefore, the attributes “startGradeSeparation” and “endGradeSeparation” have been populated on the PathLink. The Grade Separation attribute will indicate where there is or is not a physical connection between the Paths in the real world. Grade Separation will determine if a PathLink is above another. If the two PathLinks, when referencing the same PathNode, have different values, then it is not possible to move between them at that point.
Where a PathLink crosses a RoadLink at a different level, both the PathLink and RoadLink will split. The attributes “startGradeSeparation” and “endGradeSeparation” will be populated on the PathLink and RoadLink. The Grade Separation attribute will indicate where there is or is not a physical connection between the path and road in the real world. Where the two links cross, the Road Node and Path Node will have the same identifier. Grade Separation will determine if one link is above another. If the two links, when referencing a Road Node and Path Node with the same TOID, have different grade separation values, then it is not possible to move between them at that point.
The context diagram below shows how the PathLink has been inherited from INSPIRE and the attribution held on the PathLink.

Highway dedication provides an indication of the type of Highway user who has access to that particular section of the Highway.
Against every section of geometry supplied by the local highway authority there will be one of eight different types of Highway Dedication defined in the Highways Act 1980 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 which determines the Highway user access.
There can only be one Highway Dedication type applied to the geometry at any given date or time.
It is likely that more than one Highway Dedication type applies to a section of Highway (i.e. a highway open to all vehicles will also have pedestrian way or footway access) so the following is an order of priority where the highway dedications under each is inferred:
Motorway *
All Vehicles
Byway Open to All Traffic
* Motorways and Cycle Tracks (not Cycle Ways) impose restrictions on all other Highway users.
Restricted Byway
Cycle Track * or Cycle Way
Bridleway
Pedestrian Way or Footpath
The Highway Dedication also identifies if the feature forms part of a National Cycle Route, Public Right of Way, Quiet Route, Physical Obstruction or Planning Order or Vehicular Traffic order exist.
The Highway dedication value is only an inference of where a Public Right of Way exists and therefore not the definitive record of Public Rights of Way, that is the definitive map held by the relevant authority.
A Highway Dedication feature will reference back to the Path Network through Network Reference and will reference a RoadLink or Street Feature.
The Highway Dedication Feature Type is not extended to Scotland because this information does not exist in the source local authority data.

The Road and Path Network are topologically structured together. ConnectingLinks enable a connection between the Road Network and the Path Network. A ConnectingLink feature is a linear spatial object which represents a logical connection between the Path Network and the Road Network; it does not represent a feature in the real world. A ConnectingLink will always reference a PathNode and a ConnectingNode. The context diagram below shows how the ConnectingLink relates to PathNode and ConnectingNode.
Three-dimensional geometry has been given to ConnectingLink features. This is to facilitate routing that requires coincidence of co-ordinates. Given the nature of connecting feature, this geometry is for connectivity purposes only.
A ConnectingLink is not a representation of a real-world object. It is a logical indicator of the connection between the Path Network and the Road Network.
