More Little Wins
Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:02:58 +0000
It was recently pointed out to us here in Open Data HQ that we don’t blog enough. We do a lot of things but most of them are little wins and not worth their own blog post. However, we’ve had enough little wins recently that it’s worth writing a paragraph or two about all of […]
Visit from UCL
Tue, 26 Apr 2016 14:53:04 +0000
Last Thursday (21st April), we had a visit from some staff and students representing TechSoc at University College London. TechSoc, as the name suggests, is the technology society, and they have been investigating the feasibility of building an API for members of UCL to access data about the institution. Despite our complete lack of entertainment […]
Measuring Success
Tue, 21 Jul 2015 13:15:53 +0000
One of the biggest drawbacks of open data is that if the data is truly open, there is no reliable way of measuring its use. One of the most common questions we get is “what about analytics?” We have no answer… for our data to be open, it must be freely available and under a […]
Information (about the) Blackout
Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:26:56 +0000
UPDATED Friday 14th. See end of post for update about the plans. Friday sees the 3rd annual University Blackout event where everybody is encouraged to turn off their electrical equipment so we can see how much energy is save. Later in the evening, a team of 250 volunteers scamper around offices turning off remaining monitors […]
Building Entrance Data
Thu, 07 Aug 2014 12:20:11 +0000
The University’s Web and Internet Science research group recently had their annual “WAIS Fest”. This is a few days every year in which the researchers all down tools and do something fun and interesting. It gives them all a chance to work with people they may not always work with – important in such a […]
Adventures With Triplestores
Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:07:02 +0000
Since its inception, the Southampton Open Data service has been run on 4Store. Reasons are varied, but it certainly helped that several of its key developers used to work at Southampton, and we have their mobile numbers! However, we recently began a project to see if we can replace it with something a bit more […]
Little Wins
Thu, 17 Oct 2013 09:28:50 +0000
We’ve had two small data related wins this week, which will sound a little odd. I’ve been investigating the database of module pre-requisites. This is the list of modules you have to have completed before you do other modules. In the Physics department choices in early years can mean you can’t do a module you […]
Running an Open Data stand at a University Open Day
Tue, 10 Sep 2013 16:31:37 +0000
University open days are a great way for prospective students to find out about a university by seeing it for themselves. It gives the students – and their parents – a good idea of the campus, the area and the organisation, as well as giving them the chance to meet some of the staff. From […]
Unplanned Outage
Mon, 08 Jul 2013 09:49:59 +0000
We had an unplanned outage over part of this weekend. This was due to a logfile unexpectedly growing huge. We do have monitors in place but this time we didn’t catch the alert emails in time. The log normally takes 3.2Mb per week, and last week using 25Gb! Ash was working very hard all of […]
