This week Ed is joined by Andrew Trigg, Chief Geospatial and Data Officer at HM Land Registry, who spoke at Geomob London back in 2016. Our discussion covers what HM Land Registry is, the scale of their work, and the significant challenge of digitising records and turning them into useful geospatial resources. We also cover Land Registry's experience of opening their data and sponsorship of Geovation.

Today's topic is the Geograph Project, a crowd-sourced project that combines photography and maps via a simple idea: volunteers take photographs at each Ordnance Survey grid square. Started in 2005, the project recently celebrated the uploading of its 7 millionth photo upload, and has a thriving community with over 13,000 contributors across the British Isles. All images are freely available for use under a Creative Commons licence subject to attribution of copyright. Steven speaks with long-time community members and organizers Ruth Sharville, Philip Halling, and David Howard about what makes Geograph so special.
