GO Loader supports the new OS MasterMap Address Layer
On
the same day that Ordnance Survey announces the new OS MasterMap Address
Layer, Snowflake Software annouces support for the new layer within
its innovative GML tool for Oracle - GO Loader.
Through
the unique XML Schema parsing technology only available in GO Loader,
GO Loader is able to read any GML2 compliant data without prior
knowledge of the format. Therefore, GO Loader not only supports
the new Address Layer, it also provides built in support for any
forthcoming OS MasterMap layers delivered in GML2 format. Furthermore,
to support a new format there is no need for software change or
the creation of often complex lookup files-all users need to do
is point GO Loader at the accompanying XML Schema files and within
the next three minutes they can be up and running with any GIS capable
of connecting to Oracle.
Eddie
Curtis, CTO of Snowflake Software says
"Our
XML Schema parsing technology is unique to GO Loader. Using this
technology we were able to support the new OS MasterMap Address
layer as soon as we recieved the sample data from Ordnance Survey.
Using GO Loader our customers are able to work with any new GML
format from the day of its release. As a result, gone are the
days where customers are required to wait for software vendors
to support a new format."
