For the Gassin maps on the VR website, I have actually spent a couple of
minutes to ask Julienne Hanson (who drew the maps) and CUP (who
published them) for permission to publish the digitised diagrams. Both
were happy for the maps to remain up for academic purposes.
I hope this serves to encourage the use of a standard set of test cases
for space syntax. However, I would still like to see some observation
data made available. For example, within the artificial intelligence
community, the Anderson (1935) iris data has become a standard that is
freely distributed to test classification algorithms.
