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.
This relationship is between the Topographic Identifier (TOID) of the Road features and the Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) of Street features in OS MasterMap Highways Network.
A Road feature is a link set which represents a collection of RoadLink features that share the same name (e.g. Bilston Road) or classification number (e.g. A41). 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.
The relationship is extracted using the following:
The reference to the RoadLinks which make up each Road feature in the ‘link’ attribute of the Road
feature table.
The reference to the RoadLink(s) which have been matched to each Street feature in the ‘link’ attribute in the Street feature table within the OS MasterMap Highways Network – Roads product following its release.
Where the Road and Street features reference common RoadLink(s), the relationship is extracted.
The relationship is determined by two link references within OS MasterMap Highways Network - Roads, demonstrating where Road and Street features reference common RoadLink(s).
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.
