The aims of the day are: - to inform the academic community about a range of current geo-related activities - to gather views from the academic community about where priorities for further development should lie The event should be of interest to: - institutional Site Representatives for geo-services such as Digimap and UKBORDERS - academics who use geodata in their teaching or research Presentations on the day will include: Digimap service developments Mapping and visualising the Census Landmap: creation of base map data from space Geo-data needs for HE: a discussion Projects report: data discovery and adding place to the DNER Developing geo-data services for Learning and Teaching EDINA had initially planned to hold Digimap training half-days on 3 and 5 April at the University of Newcastle.
