A presentation by John Murray from Fusion Data Science given at EDINA's GeoForum 2017 about the use of Lidar Data and the technology and techniques that can be used on it to create useful datasets.

Slides accompanying the presentation:"Reference Rot in Theses: A HiberActive Pilot", a 10x10 session (10 slides over 10 minutes) presented by Nicola Osborne (EDINA, University of Edinburgh). This presentation was part of Repository Fringe 2017 (#rfringe17) held on 3rd August 2017 in Edinburgh. The slides describe a project to develop Site2Cite, a new (pilot) tool for researchers to archive their web citations and ensure their readers can access that archive copy should the website change over time (including "Reference Rot" and "Content Drift").

An Update on what EDINA has done to the Digimap service in the last 12 months, and what it plans to do in the next 12.

This document provides an overview of managing digital footprints. It discusses what a digital footprint is, research conducted at the University of Edinburgh on digital footprints, and factors that contribute to one's digital footprint such as social media, location data, and online searches. The document notes that digital footprints can impact professional and personal reputation. It provides tips for taking ownership of one's digital footprint such as regularly searching for oneself online and reviewing privacy settings. Resources for further information and managing digital footprints are also listed.

This document introduces Digimap for Schools, an online mapping service designed for schools to use in geography and other subjects. It has Ordnance Survey maps of Great Britain at different zoom levels, as well as historic maps and aerial photography. Students can add their own labels, markers, and other elements to maps. The service allows measuring distances and areas. It is browser-based and can be accessed from school or home. Over 2,690 schools in Britain currently use the service, including 185 Scottish secondary schools. The document outlines how Digimap for Schools can support teaching and learning in subjects beyond geography like numeracy, social studies, sciences, and more. Examples of lessons and activities using the mapping service are provided.

This document provides an introduction to Digimap for Schools, an online mapping service designed for use in UK schools. It highlights key features such as access to historic maps from the 1890s and 1950s, aerial photography, and tools for annotating, measuring, and analyzing maps. Schools subscribe to the service, which allows unlimited users per school to access maps and tools through a web browser on any device. The presenter emphasizes how Digimap for Schools can support teaching and learning across the Scottish curriculum, particularly for geography, by facilitating hands-on activities with maps, data, and spatial analysis. Examples are given of how schools have used the service for topics like land use change, density calculations, and proportional mapping. Teachers observing the presentation
