as an addendum to Humprheys recent postings to this list reporting on
his NOF project, I would like to also add that work is under way at EDINA
(Uni of Edinburgh) to build a 'near-contemporary' british
gazetteer service which, in a complementary sense , will act as a
definitive source and permit users to 'crosswalk' across geographies
i.e. be able to determine the range of geographies at a specific point
and/or area - as the name suggests users will be able to walk across
geographies in a transparent manner (or at least as transparent as they
wish). Phase II of the project is currently under way and fuller details
of the Phase I project, aims, objectives and contact details can be
found at: http://edina.ac.uk/projects under Geo-Crosswalk.
