Geospatial Commission
The United Kingdom's Geospatial Commission was an expert group responsible for promoting the use of geospatial data in the country.[1] The commission also defines UK's "geospatial strategy".[2]
Initially established in 2018 as part of the Cabinet Office, it later moved to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology[when?] before being merged into the Government Digital Service in January 2025.[3]
The Geospatial Commission works closely alongside its Partner Bodies, also known as the Geo6:
- British Geological Survey
- Coal Authority
- HM Land Registry
- Ordnance Survey
- UK Hydrographic Office
- Valuation Office Agency
