A significant component of many projects involves basic processing of data. Minnerva has processed data from a wide range of sources and with a variety of software.

Data processing can be interpreted in different ways. In many cases, ingenious and effective use can made of spreadsheets, but the ability to work with databases in a programmatic way, linked to GIS and other systems greatly enhances the scope of what can be achieved.

Minnerva have particular experience in geocoding data, linking products such as AddressPoint (Ordnance Survey), Address Manager (Royal Mail) and using Point-in-Polygon processes in MapInfo to transform transport survey data from postcode to transport modelling zone in an efficient and accurate manner.
