EDINA UKBORDERS

Posted on Friday, 1 August 2008

UKBORDERS provides digitised boundary datasets of the UK, available in many Geographic Information System (GIS) formats (MapInfo MIF/MID, ArcView Shape, Arc/Info Export and several others), for teachers and researchers in the UK Higher and Further Education community to download and use in their work.

This service requires User Accountability. Further, unlike Digimap/Jorum, eduPersonPrincipalName is not supported as equivalent to eduPersonTargetedID.

There is an unsupported WAYFless URL for this service:

SSO_LOCATION?target=https%3A%2F%2Fsp.edina.ac.uk%2Fukborders%2Fauthz%3Fservice%3Dukborders%26context%3D%252Fukborders%252Faction%252Frestricted%252Findex&shire=https%3A%2F%2Fsafari.data-archive.ac.uk%2FShibboleth.sso%2FSAML%2FPOST&providerId=https%3A%2F%2Fsafari.data-archive.ac.uk%2Fshibboleth-sp

You then need to replace SSO_LOCATION with your Single Sign-On details (ensure that there is a single question mark before the target).

Please note that this URL may be sensitive to changes that are outside our control and we cannot guarantee that it will continue to work indefinitely. Use at your own risk.

This service is available for subscription to UK HE, FE & research councils through JISC Collections.
