A new metadata search facility has been developed and released, which enables prospective users to have more information about each dataset held in UKBORDERS.
The service cross-searches the Go-Geo! portal to provide current metadata records catalogued to appropriate international standards.
The release of the basic metadata service will be followed by enhancements to the existing UKBORDERS facilities, enabling the automatic inclusion of the relevant metadata with data extractions.
EasyDownload, the facility providing quick access to the most commonly requested datasets, has been redesigned to make locating and downloading easier than ever. A new tabbed interface permits quick access by nation and year, reducing the need to scroll through long lists of datasets.
