Project Granite Blog - Using data to investigate the bedrock of Scotland’s communities
Featured
Project Granite is coming to an end. It’s been great working with Scotland’s open data to take a closer look at communities. We have gained a lot of insights, but these were not always what we expected.
I am continuing to analyse open data on Scottish communities. We couldn’t find some of the data that we wanted in an open source form, so we have been collecting it manually to add to the mapping.
One of the aims of Project Granite is to produce insight into Scottish communities and places that does not already exist.
In order to make sure that we are not repeating others’ work, I have searched for similar projects that map features and services of Scottish places and communities. Thank you to everyone that shared links and referred us to other projects. I was really surprised by how many there were.
It is likely that I have not found them all, so if you know of a project that I have missed, please let me know. I have included a date and attribution statement where possible, and in other cases I have just linked to the relevant project.
Hi, I’m Elmar Rollings, Data Analyst with the David Hume Institute.
This blog gives insights into the progress of Project Granite, which is research that I’m working on with support from the William Grant Foundation and my mentor from CodeClan.
I hope by live blogging about the research, readers will help connect me to even more open data and ask questions.
