The digital national framework - a cross-sector solution to GI integration - 2005 - GIS Professional (3) March/April 2005, 38-40 (3) .

Highlights the Digital National Framework (DNF), an open, politically and commercially neutral initiative that uses common encoding standards to promote wider usage of GI. The DNF was launched in 1999 to provide a permanent, maintained and definitive geographic base to which information with a geospatial content can be referenced. Examines the development of the DNF and its future and looks at the most significant implementation of DNF principles to date, namely the definition of access to land opened up under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
