[Buildingdata] Re: disability access modelling

[Christopher Gutteridge]

We do ours through a company http://www.disabledgo.com/

Who do not fill me with joy.

First of all.. get this.. any time they change the content on a page, 
they alter the URL slightly 'so that Google will be forced to reindex 
it'. So deep links to their site break.

Secondly, they don't allow us to use the reports WE PAID FOR in our open 
data. Their point-of-view was that they owned the vocabulary of terms 
and didn't want other sites muddling the use of these terms.

We have some disabled info in the time tabling system, which is just a 
bunch of features a room may have, we republish it without really doing 
much with it to make it interoperable (yet)
eg.
http://data.southampton.ac.uk/room/58-1065.html

List of features here: http://is.gd/4lgvhj
They are raw data from the timetabling system and were never intended to 
be dragged into the light of day like this, so please be forgiving!
