Delivery of The Data
OS MasterMap data is in GML format. It is usually delivered as files compressed with gzip (giving them an extension 'gz').
Recently, Ordnance Survey has been trialing delivery of OS MasterMap data using WFS and WMS, in accordance with the Open Geospatial Consortium. This trial may even end up with automatic updates using WFS-T.
