EDINA is a national data center based at the University of Edinburgh that provides open access to scholarly resources and supports the UK education sector. It runs several geospatial services including GeoTagger for geotagging images, Cartogrammar for creating cartograms, GoGeo for discovering GIS resources and metadata, Unlock for georeferencing text, and ShareGeo and Openstream for mapping and sharing open geospatial data. EDINA also promotes open events and groups for geospatial topics.

What? EDINA runs services primarily for the UK education sector. However, it is increasingly trying to make its services open and available to everyone. In this Presentation we will look at some of the services that EDINA run that you can access and what you might do with them and some other “Open” geo-tools.
GeoTagger http://tagger.edina.ac.uk/ A basic web service API for geo-tagging/geo- coding image, audio and video media A demo web client enabling users to upload media, metadata parsing and geo-tagging/geo- coding An Open Metadata collection of geo-tagged/geo-coded enriched media with a search interface (this has been seeded with 250,000 images from Geograph
GeoTagger http://tagger.edina.ac.uk/ Upload Your Picture Existing Exif Metadata Export Use map to locate where image picture was taken
Cartogrammar car·to·gram/ˈ kärtəˌ gram/ A map on which statistical information is shown in diagrammatic form. A small diagram on the face of a map, showing quantitative information. An abstracted and simplified map the base of which is not true to scale. http://www.viewsoftheworld.net

GoGeo Discover GIS resources Find Data Create standards compliant metadata Learn about metadata standards Open Data & Open Source Software at EDINA
Unlock Unlock Text – feed in a body of text and Unlock will associate places from it. It uses fuzzy logic to Web API that provides disambiguate places with geographic reference to the same name place names.
ShareGeo Find and share open spatial data ……
ShareGeo Create maps or perform spatial analysis
Openstream Web Mapping Service (WMS) of OS OpenData Stream map to a GIS or Google Earth or embed the map in your website using the API.
Other great resources
Geo-Events/Groups EEO-AGI(S) and Hutton Club seminar series are held most Fridays at 1600 in the Geography Dept. They are School of Geoscience. They are free to attend. The Royal Scottish Geographical Society run regular seminars around Scotland. Topics are broad and varied. (http://www.rsgs.org/) The Association of Geographic Information has a Scottish section. It runs GIS events and Technical special interest groups. Addy Pope Email: addy.pope@ed.ac.uk Twitter: @go_geo http://www.gogeo.ac.uk EDINA website: http://edina.ac.uk
