Data: Transfer Tools & APIs
Data loading, linkage, tools and dissemination with InstantAtlas
Server (IAS)Keith Morrison, GeoWise
Outline
• Data Loading• Existing methods and tools• Data from NOMIS – new IAS tool• Census data and the future…
• Data Linkage• IAS and other databases
• Linked & Open Data• IAS, CKAN, links and downloads
Data Loading: Files
• XML• Primary loading method• OCSI Data Packs• Excel Data Manager
• CSV• Very limited
Data Loading: APIs (1)
• NeSS Data Exchange“The Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) Data Exchange (NDE) is the name given to the Application Programming Interface (API) designed for NeSS. ”
•Standalone, desktop tool to import data into IAS – wizard based•Can be one-off import of data or scheduled imports•Uses the NeSS REST API (& XML)•Gives easy access to Census 2011 data for IAS customers
Data Loading: APIs (2)
• NOMIS“Nomis is a service provided by the Office for National Statistics, ONS, to give you free access to the most detailed and up-to-date UK labour market statistics from official sources.”
•New, standalone, desktop tool to import data into IAS – wizard based•Can be one-off import of data or scheduled imports•Uses the NOMIS REST API (& XML)•Gives easy access to labour market statistics for IAS customers (including some Census tables)
NOMIS Wizard
Data Loading: APIs (3)
• ONS Open API “ONS produces a wide variety of different data, made available on our website in various ways… The ONS Application Programming Interface (API) is the way in which ONS can help [third-party applications]...”
•Designed initially for Census 2011 data•Is currently in “public beta”•Uses a(nother) REST API (& XML)•Very limited at the moment - most of the data is also available through NOMIS, NeSS or in bulk•IAS integration? Tools? Maybe…

Data Linkage: Databases
• IAS can link directly to tables in your corporate database• No need to transfer or duplicate
data – can be a “live link” (but you can “grab and go” if you want)
• Used successfully by Vermont – uses their “data warehouse” directly

Future Plans
• What do you want?• We’re always looking at:
• New data APIs (Census, Crime…)• Streamlining loading code (&
therefore speed)• Reducing complexity (metadata!)• Exposing IAS data via APIs
