Coming up to nearly a year and a half working at the University of Lincoln, my work around research information systems is starting to show some serious progress with a prototype application that we’re currently demoing to interested staff and … Continue reading Modelling Research Data
So this is something that’s been bugging me for a while now. At the City of Lincoln Council I promote not only the use of web based tools such as those that Google supply, but also the use of open data.

It’s incredibly comprehensive and all of the data was put together by the City Council Heritage team with A Recipe for Success developing the framework. The project was supported by English … Continue reading Heritage Connect
