An introduction to open data
“We observed that often people think of
open data as a specific ‘kind’ of data –
something separate and distinct from the
data they use day-to-day in their
organisation or team – rather than a choice
about how people publish data.”

DATA & USER EXPERIENCES
“How far do you live from your
workplace? Chances are, you'd answer
that question in minutes rather than
miles.
!
An hour on the bus tells us a lot more than
47 miles. That's why we made
Mapumental.
!
Given any start point or destination, it'll
show everywhere within the chosen
commute time, by public transport.”
mapumental.com/services/travel-time
“How accessible is your nearest school, post
office, or GP’s surgery?
!
In Wales, that’s not always a simple question: the
country’s mountainous landscapes, rural
populations, and sometimes infrequent bus
services can mean that those without cars are
rather cut off from public service provision.”
mapumental.com/services/accessibility
“Just how quickly could fire engines reach
a given postcode in case of a fire?
!
It’s a question that’s pivotal to decisions
made by both the emergency services and
the insurance industry.”
