| findable_steps | No steps. I am a user of these datasets and have been aware of the locations since they became available. Boundary-Line is easily discoverable via a UK search for "administrative boundaries" in Google. The ONS Geography site is new and does not yet have good SEO, so is less easily discoverable. | |
| licence_url | https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendata/licensing.htm | Link provided is for Boundary-Line. Licensing information for ONS boundary datasets is here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/methodology/geography/licences All are subject to the Open Government Licence. |
