Easy wins with Southampton building data

We’ve made the first (hopefully of many!) changes on the ECS website to take advantage of date made available at http://data.southampton.ac.uk/.

The change was simply to start linking to building pages (e.g. building 32) anywhere that we list a building by number.

We do this a lot more on our intranet pages, and also on some public pages such as our seminars and events pages.

Though it was a trivial change to implement, it shows the value we can add (maps, photos and building facilities in this case) to our sites and applications just by being able to talk about a thing directly, rather than just about the name of a thing.
