OSM-GB (http://www.osmgb.org.uk) is a project that redelivers a thematic quality-controlled version of OpenStreetMap in OGC Web Services in the context of Great Britain. It also delivers some of the Ordnance Survey Open Data maps via WFS. This workshop will be a chance to explore those different maps in QGIS, superimposing, analyzing them in raster and vector formats, thematic querying/filtering, and observing the similarity and differences between the crowd-sourced and OS open data domains. In addition, the results of "bug detection" procedures including the discovered mismatches between OSM and OS Open Data can be explored.
