We will use this blog to update you on new features of the data site,\u00a0 cool things people have done with the data and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>The techie details about how the site works and the different technologies involved will be posted to our <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/webteam\/\">Web Team<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n<p>Right now we&#8217;re about 60 hours from Data-Day, which is March 7th.<\/p>\n<p>After launch we&#8217;ll continue to add datasets. There are datasets we have approval to publish but there are just not enough hours in the day! Datasets which are planned to follow in due course include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building energy use data (we have a great metering system)<\/li>\n<li>What software is installed on workstation clusters and desktop machines of each academic unit<\/li>\n<li>Menus from the staff club<\/li>\n<li>Mapping from <a href=\"http:\/\/data.southampton.ac.uk\/programme-theme\/3071\/2010-2011.html\">Programme of Study<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/data.southampton.ac.uk\/module\/COMP6028\/2010-2011.html\">individual modules<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the longer term we also hope to look into giving people the ability to access their personal data (timetables specifically), and more importantly authorise apps to have access to that data. See <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/webteam\/2010\/08\/31\/privacy-controls-for-linked-data\/\">this blog post<\/a> for some earlier thoughts on this concept.<\/p>\n<p>The photgraphs of many of our main buildings were provided by a student, under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\">CC-BY license<\/a>. This means anyone in the University, or beyond, can freely use them so long as they credit the artist. We don&#8217;t have photos of the more far flung or obscure buildings, but the student photographic society have taken that as a challenge and we look forward to seeing what they come up with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet Welcome to the University of Southampton Data Blog.
