The latest news on InterpOSe, SuperpOSe, and TranspOSe from Dotted Eyes

New releases for InterpOSe (4.6) and TranspOSe (9.1)

New releases of Dotted Eyes’ OS MasterMap loading tool, InterpOSe, and NTF Loader, TranspOSe, have been released. Releases have been sent to all clients with maintenance contracts. See below for version changes:

InterpOSe (v4.6)

• An updated version of the FME components used to write the various output formats;
• DWG and DXF files may be written in AutoCAD Release 2007 format;
• DWT template files can be edited in AutoCAD Release 2007 format;
• Compatibility with EDINA Digimap data files, as supplied to the academic community;
• OS MasterMap Address Layer 2 may be processed in its Final Release form as well as its First Release form. This data set includes OWPAs (Objects Without Postal Addresses) and MOWPAs (Multi-occupancy Buildings Without Postal Addresses) and also alternative address formats such as the Welsh language and BS7666 style;
• A Full Supply of Address Layer 2 can be processed. InterpOSe v4.6 will also apply Change-Only Update to the Postal theme, if required.

The Address Layer 2 data set is considerably more complex than the original Address Layer, and accordingly we recommend that it should be stored in a database, particularly if you intend to use Change-Only Update.

A simplified version of InterpOSe is available to institutions of higher and further education, for teaching and research purposes. It processes data supplied through the EDINA Digimap service, but not the data set supplied by Ordnance Survey, and it has restricted functionality.

We will continue to develop InterpOSe, and intend to enable Change-Only Updates to be applied to all themes in Address Layer 2 in future releases.


TranspOSe (v9.1)

• The underlying Spatial ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) engine that drives TranspOSe has been updated;
• AutoCAD support has been extended to include the latest output release, 2004 and 2007;
• ESRI Style files are now available to enhance styling support for features in ESRI GIS software.
