One of presentations given in "Where's the University?": building an institutional geolocation service: Janet McKnight and Sebastian Rahtz, Oxford University Computing Services- parallel session given at Institutional Web Management Workshop 2009, University of Essex, 28 - 30, July 2009

1. Conclusions
Sebastian Rahtz and Janet McKnight
July 2009

2. Physical mapping
Google and Microsoft and all the mapping companies are
getting better all the time, but we think physical location
collection will be needed for a few years yet.

3. Time and politics
The time and political dimensions of geolocation must always
rely on specialist local knowledge

4. Joining up the dots
Integration with local data sources depends on knowledge of
institutional data identifiers

5. Thank you
