OAC Case Studies

Posted by Daniel Lewis

We’ve recently revised our ‘Case Studies‘ page, accessed by clicking on the tab in the title bar. We hope you will find it a useful resource. The case studies are split into a number of different groupings to make browsing easier, once you select a grouping, a list of studies tagged with that reference are shown and from that you can read the studies that interest you. This is a system that is moving towards the so-called ‘semantic web’ currently being pushed by Tim Berners-Lee and the UK Governments data.gov.uk data dissemination website.

If you have any work that uses OAC that you think will be a useful addition to the case studies currently available please get in touch with the chair or secretary of the group.

The most recent case study is this one regarding the Cambridgeshire Place Report and Interactive map.

  • The Output Area Classification

    The Output Area Classification (OAC) distills key results from the Census for the whole of the UK to indicate the character of local areas.

    It profiles populations, structures other data, and helps target resources. OAC is in the public domain, and the User Group supports and promotes its use as geodemography open to all.
