Comments on: What Could the Obama Administration Mean for the GeoWeb? http://blog.geoiq.com/2008/11/24/what-could-the-obama-administration-mean-for-the-geoweb/ News and updates from GeoIQ Sun, 20 May 2012 18:37:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rajan Gupta http://blog.geoiq.com/2008/11/24/what-could-the-obama-administration-mean-for-the-geoweb/#comment-725 Rajan Gupta Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:22:41 +0000 http://blog.fortiusone.com/?p=781#comment-725 We have been working on a framework that is not only interested in making data globally available through Universally Accessible Formats but also how we collect, collate, verify and validate data. The home and alpha version of this project is at http://openmodel.newmexicoconsortium.org/ and we would very much like to hear what the community thinks and how the whole process could be made more transparent.

Should we start the push now for Gillies as Fed CTO :-) On the upside I have not heard W*S coming up in some of the more recent OGC discussions like geosearch. @Sean if they could get that yanked from government requirements it would definitely make our life better.

Also we are in DC if you are based here or get out this way. Would be great to help out on the National Map. The embed requires that you have flash installed which may be the issue. We are still testing it so also could be a cross browser issue, especially if you are using an older browser. If you can pass along the details on the browser we'd be happy to take a look. best, sean Hi Barbara -

I am the PI of the project Eric mentioned. So far we don't have a website but I am happy to see you are going to AAG's in Las Vegas and really excited about the session on Google. Maybe we should have a paleo meets neo meetup. I do think that we need to find some way to bring what you guys are doing into the redesign of the National Map. ps the first example above does not have a map background in my browser. @Sean and @Eric- Hi Sean.

We'll be interconnecting all this so you can do the kind of analysis you are talking about in the future. @Eric - At a Gate's workshop I met Barb Ryan (recently at USGS) who mentioned a project around the National Map we might be useful for. Maybe this was what she had in mind. Sounds like a cool project is there a link to learn more? @Steve – I should caveat that I made up the UGC data for the sake of having an example.

So you can download the original data to do your own analysis. In GeoCommons Maker! click "Details" to get the KML. For Google Maps, click "View Larger Map" and then get the KML or GeoRSS feed. @Steven – both maps in GeoCommons as well as Google Maps are accessible as KML files.

Just putting it on top of GMaps doesn't really help me if I want to do text analysis on the UGC or any other fun things. There is no link on that page that says where to get the underlying data.

You just saved me some work ;) Within the Center of Excellence for GIScience at the USGS, we have a project titled "User Centered Design for The National Map". That project was conceived about two years ago. We have since redefined what we mean by "user" to focus on data consumers via OGC standards rather than a pretty face for another proprietary front-end. Thanks Sean! You just saved me some work ;)
