The Platform runs across a variety of hardware, in multiple datacenters. Some pieces are hosted in our colos, on pretty much commodity hardware. We also use cloud services like Amazon EC2, S3 & SimpleDB for various tasks.

Question for you, what sort of hardware was/is used to run these environments? Being a bit of a server junky I am always curious on what sort of boxes these large DB’s reside on. Cheers

Hi Leigh,

Do you have any other ontology samples? I can’t access the data from Stuart Williams.
Thanks for sharing this! This will definitely be a big help for my research.

Great article! I’m attempting to extract info for a government project, but i’m running into difficulties because im’ learning by example, but can’t find an example of what I need to do!

I’m trying to get a list of schools from a given district (in the example below, 00BA) and only return those which are NOT nurseries or preschools (identified by the Type “TypeOfEstablishment_EY_Setting”).

I’ve managed to hack together the query below, but its returning duplicate results because most schools are listed under 2 Types, only one of which will be flagged as “TypeOfEstablishment_EY_Setting”.

Am i meant to somehow re-filter what i’ve got so far, or can I limit the results returned initially?

prefix sch-ont:
prefix geo:
prefix sch-type:
SELECT ?school ?name ?date ?lat ?long ?capacity ?type WHERE {
?school a sch-ont:School;
sch-ont:establishmentName ?name;
sch-ont:openDate ?date;
geo:lat ?lat;
geo:long ?long;
sch-type:type ?type;
sch-ont:districtAdministrative
.

OPTIONAL {
?school sch-ont:schoolCapacity ?capacity
}
}

Hiya,

When I try to run some of the results, like say number 7, by clicking on ‘results’ I get only the empty elements returned.

Hi Dave,

The Easting and Northing values are still in the dataset, e.g:

http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/school/120805

The new properties are:

http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/spatialrelations/easting
http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/spatialrelations/northing

There are also latitude and longitude values in the data now using these properties:

http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#long
