Abstract
This paper describes the development of the National Land Information Services, the overall aim of which is to improve the management of land and property by linking details of land ownership, value and use at the level of the individual land parcel with topographical, utility, environmental and socio-economic data which can be accessed by government, business and citizens through electronic systems. The paper analyses the role of the UK geographical information policy network in developing this system. It shows how the policy network is open to information-mediated change to enable the development of this system and change power relationships within the network.
