Riding the (open) Data WavePresentation to ESRI(UK)11th January 2011 James Cheshire + Colleagues, UCL Department of Geography + CASA spatialanalysis.co.uk @spatialanalysis
Outline What we (at UCL) are paid to do. The Open Data Wave. Sources of Opendata. The future (from a UCL perspective).
Transport Modeling SE England Duncan Smith, Arcadia Project (CASA)
Integrating R with ArcGIS
Health Crime (Daniel Lewis) (Paul Richards) Teaching Education (Paul Longley) (Alex Singleton)
Web Applications
We need expertise in: Large datasets. Spatial data analysis and visualisation. Mapping (online and offline). Outreach (online and offline). …the same applies toopendatamapping.
Opendatameans a lot…
The OpenData Wave Thousands of datasets being released/ created to be freely used. For “high-impact” analysis needs to be fast, useful, and produce engaging visualisations.  For each high-profile data release only a couple of maps will be noticed. Many are ignored. Much of the data requires longer-term in depth analysis.
Opendata sources Guardian Datastore (my favorite). London Datastore. UN. Data.gov. Data.gov.uk. OpenStreetMap. OS Opendata.
3 types ofopendata mapping Reactive: Wikileaks, Govt Cuts Quick production in response to headline news. “Static” data, simple maps. Proactive: Twitter Longer- term production- perhaps as part of a wider research agenda. More dynamic data, more complex maps. Services: Cycle Hire Longer-term. Real time data and mapping.
Reactive Mapping
Proactive Mapping Fabian Neuhaus (CASA)
Services Oliver O’Brien (CASA)
…Also great for teaching No need to give away sensitive data. Resources can be freely distributed.
Most of the opendata analysis we do is not directly funded, but the “traditional” research is. Voluntary but reliant on UCL infrastructure. Emphasis on speed- at the cost of quality? Reactive maps always a day behind. No formal data storage/ documentation. …this is the opposite to our “traditional” research agenda. Thoughts
Raising Awareness of GIS/ Mapping Guardian (Service) Metro (Proactive). National Geographic (Traditional). The Economist (Service). Wired (Proactive). The British Library (Proactive/ Service). BBC Blogs (Service).
