@matkoniecz, can we review these APIs together from next week? - I will check their licenses first (sources from: https://www.api.gov.uk/#uk-public-sector-apis, https://github.com/co-cddo/api-catalogue/issues/new/choose).

matkoniecz commented 6 months ago

Yes, though processing all will take significant time.

MKIM1008 commented 6 months ago

Yes, though processing all will take significant time.

I guess we should choose some of them.

1) I will test the system if it's working on the website first, 2) Identifying their licenses for an open publication.

@matkoniecz, a reference for today's meeting: live bus location API https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/api/v1/datafeed/bus ID/?api_key=

We have 5 public bus operators in Loughborough. 1) Then, would live 5 bus datasets be needed for one layer? 2) Could you let me know what method you prefer to develop/update the layer from me?

Bing Maps API: 125000 business information for free *per year

To refine Land use (business)

1) download Bing's business information geo-coordinated

2) matching business information with the Colouring Britain's updated landuse category

3) combining UPRNs

4) inserting it the document downloaded from Colouring Britain

matkoniecz commented 5 months ago

Bing API almost certainly forbids redistribution

MKIM1008 commented 5 months ago

@matkoniecz

Can we do download the data and insert Land use? Not to connect to the dashboard.

Maybe not available? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/bing-maps/product

Section 2. License grants. (a) Use of the Service and Content. Expressly conditioned upon your compliance with these TOU, and during the term of these TOU, Microsoft grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, revocable license to: (i) install, use, and make calls to the Services to (A) develop, test, and support your Application and (B) allow End Users to use your integration of the Services within your Application; and (ii) to use the Content, as it is provided by the Services, in your Application. You may use the Services using only the methods and means of access that are documented in the Documentation.

Section 5. General Restrictions. When using the Services, you may not, nor may you permit End Users to: (f) Use the Services to create a database or service that competes with content received when using the Services;

matkoniecz commented 5 months ago

When using the Services, you may not, nor may you permit End Users to:

(...)

(g) Use of the Content may not be used in combination with any open source software or other data subject to an open source license that may impair the copyright protection of the Content.

(...)

(n) Copy, store, archive, or create a database of Content, except that you may store geocodes locally for use solely with your Applications;

(...)

(t) Replace imagery from the Services with imagery supplied by any other mapping platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may overlay aerial imagery that you have the rights to use, provided that such imagery does not substantially replace the base aerial imagery provided by the Services. You may incorporate various data layers of types not available through the Services, in the Applications (for example, demographic or school location data); or

In general such commercial platform will forbid anything that would allow others to use, see, access data without direct tether to them. So redistribution can be assumed to be banned.

Otherwise someone could download data and stop paying. Or others could get this data without paying MS by getting it from redistributor.
