This demonstrator provides a graphic user interface to the GeoCrossWalk database. A user can use it to query the GeoCrossWalk database directly to answer such questions as:
-
Where is Aberdour?
-
Find all antiquities within 3 miles of the River Tweed
-
How many settlements in Northumbria contain "le-street" in their name?
-
Find all recreational facilities with 10 miles of the M1
- List all Unitary Authorities that contain canals
The tool helps to demonstrate the kinds of queries which may be passed between a JISC service and GeoCrossWalk via the GeoCrossWalk middleware - that the user of the ISC service will never see. This demonstrator could though become a useful tool in libraries for those who want a quick geographical query service.
