Easting & Northing

We’ve added a new dataset which adds Ordnance Survey style Easting and Northing data to everything which currently has a latitude and longitude (but only for items for which we are authoritative – University Buildings but not Bus-stops, basically.

If you get data from, say, http://data.southampton.ac.uk/building/59.rdf it now has Easting and Northing data in. I nicked the pattern from Ordinance Survey Postcode data documents.

Maybe this is useful, let us know if it is.

See the post on the Webteam Blog for the nitty gritty about how this works.
