Identifying the Boundaries around a specific area

[hadrian...@gmail.com]

Abit like the boundary view where you can see the boundary / areas around a given area l would like the same view but have the data (surrounding areas) and not the map itself. For example entering the area Wirral 011C l would like to retrieve the surrounding areas which are Wirral 011B, Wirral 011D, Wirral 015A, Wirral 010F...

Hadrian, not too sure what you mean by this, this lookup table shows the relationship between various output area geographies

http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/geography/products/names--codes-and-look-ups/names-and-codes-listings/names-and-codes-for-super-output-area-geography/index.html

 

The guidance provided on the NDE pages  tells you how to retreive areas, while the Hierarchy Builder, http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/HTMLDocs/downloads/Ness-Data-Exchange-Hierarchy-Builderv2_1.xls will alllow you to see the relationship between different areas.

 

To find AreaIds for Wirral you could use something like http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/NDE2/Disco/SearchAreaByNameHierarchy?AreaNamePart=Wirral

 

and then build up a delivery request using the areas required, http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/NDE2/Deli/getTables?Areas=6289484,6289482,6289483,6289480&Datasets=2570,2525

 

However you don't say what you mean by 'surrounding areas' are these the areas immediately surrounding Wirral 011B or wider? Its up to you to define your areas though.

Hadrian,

 

also please see  http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/.html

A while back Ordnance Survey published an RDF file of civil parishes and other areas http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ontology/AdministrativeGeography/v2.0/AdministrativeGeography.rdf

All areas have the areas that border them listed

<CivilParish rdf:about="#osr7000000000022423">

Some also have contained areas (completely and tangentially) named
