The following table documents the OS NGD datasets available through the OS NGD API – Features showing the themes, collections and lists the available feature types.
OS NGD themes and collections have been created to group similar geographic entities and data types, making it quicker and easier to identify the data you need. The OGC API - Features standard also references feature collections, and in the context of OS NGD datasets, this is equivalent to feature types.
The following naming convention has been applied to the feature collections: theme-collection-featuretype-version. Short codes have been used for both the theme and collection to keep the feature collection names manageable and not overly long. An example of the short codes used is below:
bld-fts-buildingline-1
