Aims of workshop

The aim of the workshop is to use the open tools to:1. discover data to support your research2. collect data using mobile phones3. visualise this in a GIS4. add geographic intelligence to non-geographic data5. create a metadata to describe your data6. deposit this in an open repository

We will base this around a project researching into anti-social behaviour in communities.
