SINGAPORE – ONEMAP
OneMap is the authoritative national map of Singapore with the most detailed and timely updated information developed by the Singapore Land Authority .
It can be used to obtain street-level geospatial information or narrowed to specific queries such as land ownership , the nearest schools and demographic data at / around a location .
Businesses can apply for a licence to use the digitised land information to meet their business needs or to create products and services e . g . GIS enterprise solutions , maps , fleet management , location-based services , navigation products , mapping applications , client-server solutions , spatial analysis and business intelligence .
The geo-data / database / dataset / information available for licensing are :
• Street Directory
• Address Point
• Digitised Cadastral
• Road Network
• Building Outline
By integrating different types of data , such as property information ( e . g . Edge Prop , ERA , PropNex ), government information ( e . g . OneMap Open datasets , Housing Development Board ( HDB ) housing policies , National Environmental Agency ( NEA ) weather information ), mobility ( e . g . SBS Transit , BlueSG , GetGo , AnyWheel ), retail ( e . g . Sheng Shiong , UOB TMRW ) and lifestyle ( e . g . National Library Board ( NLB ), Sentosa Development Corporation TMRW ) datasets , the prototype can be extended to support different types of user queries , for example it could assist in planning a day itinerary for property viewings based on specific user preferences and recommending suitable properties for families to reside near their parents .
“ We are pleased to be part of this challenge and grateful for the opportunity ,” said Dr Ashley Fernandez , Chief Data and AI Officer at Huawei International .
For all the above datasets , the data formats provided are : DGN ( Bentley Microstation format ); DXF ( DWG Object or AutoCAD Map format ); DMP ( Oracle Spatial Export format ) or “ SHP ” ( ESRI Shape format ).
Such licensed datasets are suitable for industries such as transport and logistics , healthcare , real estate , mobile and wireless , urban planning and construction , research and development .
