Hi everyone,
I thought this might be of interest on a rainy Friday: a blog I wrote for the Ordnance Survey about the BFI's use of their Open Data product to create the data spine which underpins our mass digitisation and map visualisation project, Britain on Film.

Britain on Film:

I've always intended to share the UK Location hierarchy (once I've improved it in reference to the next generation of OS open data, which has persistent unique identifiers) with fellow Adlib users who are interested, as it is importable to any Adlib thesaurus very easily (and the OS open data licence lets me share it as long as recipients agree to the same terms).
I can also consider sharing it beyond the Adlib community if there's any interest, as it's exportable in a very transparent XML markup which could inform a simple import to any system I suspect.
Stephen
