EDINA have taken the difficult decision to withdraw the Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) data from Digimap at the end of the current subscription year on 31st July 2020.  For those who have had a subscription to the OSNI data and have downloaded any licensed OSNI data from Digimap over the past 12 months you must now delete it since your licence to use and hold it has expired.

If you wish to continue using OSNI data, you should make appropriate licensing arrangements with OSNI directly, or through one of their partners.

Some OSNI data is available as Open Data. This will continue to be available through Digimap as previously. The Open Data is not covered by the recently expired Digimap licence for the OSNI data.

You may have noticed a new tab has appeared on the Digimap home page, labelled Noteable.

Noteable is a new service from EDINA, a cloud-based service which allows users to create, run & visualise code in a large number of computational languages. It can be used to access the unlimited opportunities of Python and/or R to build and manipulate data science models, addressing a wide variety of research problems. Noteable offers huge potential for geospatial data analysis and processing, making complex software environments and data models readily available to large numbers of students for remote learning.

Noteable builds and expands on Jupyter & RStudio technology to provide an efficient and collaborative learning environment. It offers low barriers to access with teachers able to set up the students’ environment once, and enables students to get started without the associated effort of setting up their own.
