Off the Map Blog Mission
The mapping revolution is accelerating in parallel with the broader Web revolution. The Web is moving from the publishing Web, through the social communication Web, and on to the information utility Web, where data, applications, and services are delivered from the cloud. In the face of such massive and rapid change, this blog aims to be a source of information, perspectives, and dialogue on the hot issues, innovations, and news of the day, such as,

· Democratizing Geointelligence
· Converging GIS and GeoWeb
· Crowdsourcing
· Innovative Products and Services
· Hot Mapping Applications
· Geodata Sourcing, Quality, and Accessibility
· GeoMetaData and the Semantic Web
· Social GeoWeb
