  - CSAP Application
    - At the CSAP Meeting we were asked to produce a one page appilcation document and to email this to the new CSAP cluster leader John Stillwell.
    - It was understood that this would be considered immediately and we hope for a positive response, but nonetheless a response within the week.

    - Proof edits to NGS Demo blurb:
      - Using The NCeSS MoSeS and Geographic Linkage Service interfaces
        
        The demonstration will show the portal/user interface to MoSeS applications and the Geographic Linkage Service (GLS). The MoSeS applications are based on a UK demographic model which estimates population characteristics at an individual and household level on a yearly time step for 30 years from 2001. The development of the demographic model was computationally demanding and NGS computational power has supported this.
        
        The GLS is being developed as a service with a server based on NGS hardware. It allow users to link geometry data with attribute data via a linkage attribute as is a common in geographical mapping. This can be a computationally intensive task and there are various security and service registering issues that are being addressed. This work has been done in collaboration with the JISC Grid OGC collision programme.
