The Ordnance Survey’s long-awaited API has moved a step closer to launch, with the organisation preparing to announce an alpha release later today.

The 'OpenSpace' platform has been in the pipeline for at least a couple of years and will reportedly now be fully unveiled sometime in 2008. 

Mashup enthusiasts will be pleased to hear that the Ordnance Survey is to release an API for non-commercial applications.

The organisation – whose data access policy has long been the subject of debate – announced the move at an event in its Southampton HQ on Friday.
