Yahoo! Internet Location Platform Announced
Posted: May 16th, 2008, 8:39pm CEST by Satri
Tags: Yahoo
Announced earlier this week, the Yahoo! Internet Location Platform has been discussed by many geoblogs, including Yahoo's Dan Catt and CNET. Yahoo! has been very active regarding geospatial development in the last few years despite the attention towards Google and Microsoft. From the official page: "The Yahoo! Internet Location Platform provides a resource for managing all geo-permanent named places on Earth. Our purpose in creating the Internet Location Platform is to provide the Yahoo! Geographic Developer Community with the vocabulary and grammar to describe the world's geography in an unequivocal, permanent, and language-neutral manner. The Internet Location Platform is designed to facilitate spatial interoperability and geographic discovery; users can traverse the spatial hierarchy, identify the geography relevant to their users and their business, and in turn, unambiguously geotag, geotarget, and geolocate data across the Web. [...] In simple terms, the Service allows you to look up the unique identifier - called the Where on Earth ID, or WOEID - for almost any named place on the Earth; it also allows you to resolve a WOEID you have received from a third party - such as Fire Eagle or Upcoming - to the place it represents."Read more of this story at Slashgeo.

The ESRI-Google Where 2.0 Announcement
Posted: May 16th, 2008, 6:55pm CEST by Satri
Tags: ESRI
Several geoblogs mentioned the Google ESRI joint keynote at Where 2.0, and All Points Blog elaborates on what it may mean for the near and far future. From their conclusions: "These announcements have some important implications for the geospatial marketplace: 1) the use of and demand for ArcGIS Server should rise. 2) any geo data or services provider who wants to play on the Web needs to look at how it will provide findability and usability of its data and services in this way. 3) geodata-finding portals may, in time, become extinct - if the KML vision for search and distribution becomes a de facto one as well. 4) the technology may be available, but the institutional barriers to data sharing may still be blocking the path (as noted in a question at the end of the session)." Also interesting is the GeoServer 1.7.0 plan to be automatically crawlable by Google’s geosearch.Read more of this story at Slashgeo.

Streamlining and Testing RFID Technology
Posted: May 16th, 2008, 4:32pm CEST by Satri
Tags: rfid
Slashdot discuss a story on streamlining and testing RFID technology. Their summary: "Multiple readers have written to let us know that an experiment at the upcoming Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference will use RFID to track the movements of at least 1,500 registrants for the duration of the conference. Those movements will be transmitted onto screens which "show in real-time where people go, with whom they associate, for how long and how often." The system will also be used for games which involve manipulation of the available data. Meanwhile, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a method for testing large quantities of RFID tags, which may serve to greatly speed distribution."

StreetView Collecting 3D Data
Posted: May 16th, 2008, 12:35am CEST by lxnyce
Tags: google
Oddly enough, CNet news is the first site I have seen reporting that Google has now started to collect 3D data with their StreetView endeavor. Here is an excerpt from the article : "Google confirmed today it's gathering 3D data along with the photographs it takes for its online Street View service, a potential boon for those of us who fantasize about flying like Superman through urban landscapes, at least virtually. "The imaging technology includes lasers that collect 3D geometry data," the company said Thursday in a statement. However, for now at least, the 3D information is just experimental, Google said. " This is the first time I can recall in a while, where they are actually trailing pretty far behind Microsoft and their Local Live service. It actually feels like they are now trying to catch up to Microsoft. Head on over to the CNet site for all the details.Read more of this story at Slashgeo.
