You can publish maps taken from Digimap or created by you in a variety of publications. Clause 3.1.7 states that you may incorporate maps in printed and electronic versions of conference papers, articles, articles published in a journal publication and poster sessions. Clause 3.1.14 states that you may publish maps (but not data) on your institution’s web site as part of a course or project, clause 4.1.4 limits the use of Digital Maps on the web for other purposes though. You may not publish maps in books without a separate licence or permit being granted by BGS. To arrange this, please contact the British Geological Survey directly: ipr@bgs.ac.uk This licence does not permit Data to be published under any circumstances.
