Contribution delivered in the School of the Environment, Geography and Geosciences (SEGG, now SELS) at the University of Portsmouth in the 2015-2016 academic year.
Modelling, Analysis and the Web was open to L5 (2nd year) students of Geography, Adrian’s contribution covered one two-hour teaching and demonstration slot using slides previously prepared for the Business Geographics course in the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh.
Together with demonstration the material illustrated some of the potential for downloading, or otherwise harvesting, [geo]data from the web, whether from new government ‘open data’ silos or from nascent depositories such as Twitter’s tweet stream.
Colleagues at academic institutions interested in the original PowerPoint slides and bibliographic database may make contact to request access.
Businesses, government departments, third sector organisations etc. may wish to explore consultancy options.
