Coming Soon - 2001 Census Boundary Data

The CDU is currently working on adding an integrated Digital Boundary Data option for 2001 Census Data to Casweb

The DBD download option will be released sometime in May.

The Digital Boundary Data will be available in ESRI Shape, Mapinfo Tab and Mid/Mif and also GML. Other formats may also be released if there is a user requirement for them.

The 2001 DBD was sourced from UKBORDERS at EDINA and is stored in a SQL Server 2008 database here at the CDU. This will allow us integrate the data into future projects such as a new visualisation system and also into the Infuse Project which is designing the succesor to Casweb.
