Overview

With technology infusing every aspect of our working lives it has never been more essential to make sure that the software we are using is the very best available. Efficient software however is only part of the equation and it is the understanding and use of that software that lies at the very heart of 'Best Practice'.

The Gazetteer Best Practice Day is designed to give a comprehensive introduction to Gazetteer Best Practice through the first hand experiences those that regularly use gazetteers. With eight presentations about different organisations there will be an exploration of core management functions through to the linking of data within and between systems in order to deliver joined up services.

Those attending will gain the opportunity to explore best practice not only with the speakers but with a number of other gazetteer custodians from around the country.

Topics to be covered:

• Property gazetteer management

• Street gazetteer management

• Implementation and migration

• Gazetteer integration with other systems

• Web services for internal and external use

• Extending the scope of your gazetteer

• The Street Naming and Numbering process
