Justin Hayes is the Data Modelling Lead at the Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRImA) Lab within the School of Science, Engineering & Environment at the University of Salford, UK. He is working with the PRImA team to develop methods and processes to enable the retrieval of large sets of historical statistical information from visual representational formats (mostly multiple statistical tables in printed documents, or physical or digital image copies), and then integrate the information into structured and operable data to make it available for analysis using current tools and techniques. Justin has many years of experience of working with complex information from current and historical UK censuses to improve its accessibility and usability through integration and standardisation of data structures to facilitate the development of automated Web dissemination applications. He has an MSc. in Geographical Information Systems from the University of Leicester (1998).
