18. If it ain’t broke … Quality of data in the UK Census v Register Operational systems: –better statistical information –e.g. address change –enhance privacy Quality of data in the UK Census v Register Operational systems: –better statistical information –e.g. address change –enhance privacy

19. Address: the keystone of information management 85% of databases use the address The GB address-base is poorly defined PAF is designed for mail delivery Lack of consistent data collection methodology Lack of standards and linkage protocols NLPG has adopted industry sponsored BS7666 NLPG will offer a compliant gazetteer for all land and property throughout GB

20. Local Government is pivotal Statutory responsibility for street naming & numbering Initiator of the “geographic” addressing process LG cost of address management & research is at least £50 million p.a. (Council Tax, Electoral Roll, new dev’t etc) Data taken ad hoc without charge by third parties (eg Royal Mail, Experian, Equifax) A consistent compilation will: –Produce internal savings –Enable the work to be exploited more effectively Revenue opportunities Better knowledge management brings financial benefits The cost of joining the NLPG process is a barrier

21. Progress to date

22. Peaks and Troughs E-Procurement hype cycle

23. Stage 1 - creation of first cut NLPG Council Tax + Non-Domestic Rates BS7666 Format PI Gazetteer/ Other national datasets BS7666 Format + First draft NLPG Address-Point Co-ordinate/UPRN Look-up file Giving full national coverage from existing national datasets BS7666 Format

24. Stage 2 - Creation of Local Land & Property Gazetteers (LLPG) Electoral Roll + Non-Domestic Rates BS7666 Format Council Tax BS7666 Format + Draft LLPG Address-Point /own co-ordinates BS7666 Format Other datasets BS7666 Format + + All exceptions resolved by LA Compared to Draft NLPG version Final LLPG (replaces draft version nationally Local maintenance commences) UPRN reference to populate Original files

25. LLPGs for most local authorities are under way Maintenance of the NLPG has been externally validated NLPG is being released Blockages are organisational from existing address product providers

40. NLIS Hub Transaction Volumes

41. The value of working together for every £1 of money given to the Information House, a combined spend and save of £324 is returned to local authorities

42. Blockages to working together … Standards –Increasing understanding of the requirement –The loudest industry voices are “academic” rather than “practical” Policy –Local government policy environment moving in the opposite direction –Local government bodies are not interested –Ministers look after their agencies

43. Potential ways forward Adopt the example of HMSO –Click Use licence and Fair Trading –Local authorities are both Building blocks –Need to establish regulation of local government – HMSO for national datasets? –Ensure datasets are agreed between central and local – don’t overburden –REQUIRE standards adoption as a part of publication
