ALISS at the SHINE (Scottish Health Information NEtwork) Annual Study Day 31 ...Peter Ashe
Presentation covers both the tech and a brief history of our efforts re co-production - the theme of the SHINE was 'Outreach' - so I thought "we do some of that too!"
Cynllun Estyn Allan Project
Estyn Allan (literally Reaching out) is a collaborative project involving all 22 public library services in Wales, led by SCL Cymru, delivering an intense technical and creative training programme for frontline staff in delivering bilingual digital library activities, to retain and extend library audiences. The project’s chair and co-ordinator will share the project’s activity and impact on the trainees and its potential for the new blended model of service delivery.
CCW Conference 2021: Sally Meecham, Centre for Digital Public ServicesCILIP
The opening keynote session took the form of two short presentations from Sally Meecham at the Centre for Digital Public Services and Sam Hall, the Chief Digital Officer for Local Government. Both were asked to discuss their current work and to highlight the potential of libraries and the information profession to contribute to it in Wales.

Cycle routing reflecting real cyclists’ desire-lines needs good quality data. Earlier this year the UK's Department for Transport made available cycling data for England collected from surveying they had undertaken over a few years. This has been converted to an OpenStreetMap-compatible format to enable OSM community volunteers to merge in the data. The geometry has been 'snapped' to OSM geometries with intelligent matching of paths, and the metadata has been converted to using the OSM tagging system. We funded the creation of a merging tool which enables mappers to merge the data. Martin will talk about some of the project’s challenges and opportunities involved and will ask what scope there is for future 'manual merging' projects.
CycleStreets - more than a router (State Of The Map 2013) #sotm13CycleStreets
CycleStreets was one of the earliest UK users of OpenStreetMap, aiming to create an end- user product that solved the challenge of getting from A-B by bicycle in an unfamiliar area in this country. CycleStreets is now a range of products and projects, backed by key players in the cycling community. This 'ecosystem' of offerings includes white-labelled websites for councils and others, apps on five mobile platforms, an API used by third-party transport information providers, and a core website adding value to the underlying routing. Our focus has been on ensuring the routing really 'thinks like a cyclist'. We discuss our project at a time when OSM and cycle routing are becoming less niche.
OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.

Session 63: How the Nashville Area MPO Bike/Ped Study Changed Funding Decisio...Sharon Roerty
How does a region of 22 municipalities, 3,300 miles of major roadways, and 1.3 million people covering 2,900 square miles determine where to invest in sidewalks, bikeways, and greenways? This session will focus on key successes from middle Tennessee’s first regional bicycle and pedestrian study including a public involvement process that engaged nearly 2,100 participants and the creation of a unique formula-based non-motorized project evaluation process impacting MPO funding.

CycleStreets: Our Story - presentation to Net2Camb eventCycleStreets
Here is our presentation at the Net2Camb event.

2. CycleStreets - who are we?
CycleStreets runs the UK-wide cycle journey
planner at www.cyclestreets.net
5 million journeys planned (as of this week!)
4. What’s the problem?
Fixing cycle-unfriendly streets needs local pressure
As voluntary groups we all face difficulties of time,
getting people involved, knowing about guidance,
etc.
5. Typical problems
Lots of issues, hard to keep track of
E-mail lists can be hard work
Being involved is either all or nothing
Don’t know where all places in city are
6. Typical problems
Miss planning applications
Hard to get new people involved
Guidance and official rules hard to find
Easy to miss deadlines
7. Typical problems
Easy to forget recent issues that are more difficult
Collision data not easily at hand
Time-consuming to match people with locations
Hard to prioritise when lots of issues
8. Typical problems
E-mail lists rapidly go off-topic
No proper archive of previous discussions
No real categorisation of issues
Generally high barrier to volunteer involvement
9. Cyclescape aims to tackle these
Members watch areas
Subscribed when issues added
Discuss, in geographical context
Propose solutions
11. An ambitious project
Funding of £27k from GeoVation
Other grants from Cambridge City Council, Lush, CTC
Almost ready for groups to use
Cyclenation: “This will be
a valuable tool, helping
local campaigners focus
on barriers to cycling and
ultimately generating
extra cycling trips.”
12. Where are we now?
Cambridge group testing:
Usage high
New people involved
Roughly 0% off-topic discussion!
Some usability problems due to unfinished things
13. Where are we now?
Most of the features in place
Usability work and finishing-off
Let us know if you’re ready to try out!
