Hopefully I'll be together enough to post about today's talks in a minute- all very interesting. Andrew: Also glad you could stop by! We're investigating a whole range of different mapping options really, for all sorts of things from basic data dissemination through to spatial analysis. I'm most interested in the backend stuff like PostgreSQL for storing and disseminating the data, then using a whole range of different mapping products ranging from desktop GIS to web-based mapping for viewing it. I'm particularly interested in Openlayers because it has google-like capabilities but we can use it freely on our internal networks and (to my mind) have more control over it. Otherwise, I'm keen to use wfs for sharing our data with other units and interested parties (like Steve!)- but we need to agree on what data standards to adopt if that's going to work... Steve:

What types of applications and uses do you currently use in Archaeology? I'm very interested in the actual uses of mapping/Neogeography in various fields.

Would have liked to be there myself. Thanks for the tip about GeoPress! Look forward to hearing about it Jo. Would have liked to be there myself. Thanks for the tip about GeoPress!
