Article Abstract:
The new Master Map by Ordnance survey is the greatest aid to modern planning and organization in Britain, with 5000 updates happening every day. However, it is the introduction of TOID, a unique identifier or a tag used to attribute data to a map that makes the map intelligent and gives it a whole new meaning.
