Conclusions

• Various facilities in WICID have been developed to facilitate user access to the data before extraction and user analysis of data following extraction:

• Map selection tool constructed in response to feedback from users (particularly students) whose knowledge of the geographies of the UK is limited and who require help in selecting sets of zones

• Analysis facilities are useful because they add value to the raw counts extracted from the primary and derived data sets though currently only a restricted set of indicators is available

• Development of WICID over next 12 months will focus on map selection and analysis functions for 2001 data
