More on TOIDs
Following on from my earlier TOID blog, I was at EDINA (University of Edinburgh) where I was briefly chatting about the Mastermap trials. Getting on to the subject of TOIDs I mentioned about TOID searching and, I am happy to report, EDINA will be incorporating TOID searches in to the Digimap interface (although not just yet). So at least someone is doing it which is good to see. Interestingly, they are also working on exploiting the royalty free status of TOIDs. If you interested in some processing that has been performed, you could essentially be given a macro that list the TOIDs and actions performed on them. It is this file that could be stored (in a repository for instance) and emailed out and then you could legitimally obtain a licensed copy of the data and perform exactly the same operations. No need for the (intermediate) processed data set. Nice idea and I'll be interested to see it in action.
