    OAI-ORE Resource Maps
    2008-06-09 10:32:56
    Posted to several lists.The Foresite project is pleased to announce the initial code of two software libraries for constructing, parsing, manipulating and serialising OAI-ORE Resource Maps. These libraries are being written in Java and Python, and can be used generically to provide advanced functionality to OAI-ORE aware applications, and are compliant with the latest release (0.9) of the specification. The software is open source, released under a BSD licence, and is available from a Google Code repository.You will find that the implementations are not absolutely complete yet, and are lacking good documentation for this early release, but we will be continuing to develop this software throughout the project and hope that it will be of use to the community immediately and beyond the end of the project.Both libraries support parsing and serialising in: ATOM, RDF/XML, N3, N-Triples, Turtle and RDFaForesite is a JISC funded project which aims to produce a demonstrator and test of the OAI-

    Some maps for Grand Theft Auto 4
    2008-05-01 14:16:00
    GTA4 Weapons Map Inserito originariamente da Abriael Grand Theft Auto 4 has a lot of secrets you might want to discover, weapons, armor, health, people you can talk on the street and that start missions on their own, and eve pigeons, yes, pigeons. Anyway, all the maps i've found on the net so far were extremely low resolution and as such, extremely difficult to navigate/pinpoint exact locations. So, since after a few nights of virtual crime I need at least a few hours of social service, I took my lovely Nikon and made some maps of my own. I went as far as making a white-background version, for the ones that prefer to print them. Their resolution is very high, so they should be easier to navigate. You can find them all on this flickr set (click on the desired map and then on the magnifying lens icon on the top to chose the visualization size). Hope you will enjoy them :D

    Curvas de nivel en Google Maps

    Lo admito, soy asiduo (!= de adicto) a sitios de mapas online como Google Maps o Live Search Maps de Microsoft. He de admitir que me gusta mucho la geografía y la montaña desde txiki, pero sin duda lo mejor de estos servicios es que te permiten "viajar" y explorar nuevos sitios virtualmente desde la incómoda silla de tu ordenador, sin cansarte ni mojarte, y lo más importante, sin gastarte ni un céntimo de euro en el "viaje" (el único gasto imputable sería lo que pagas religiosamente cada mes por tu penosa conexión a Internet). De eso se trata, ya que no puedo permitirme el lujo de pegarme un super viaje a Nueva Zelanda, por lo menos lo visito virtualmente y me hago una pequeña idea de cómo es el país, cuales son sus ciudades más importantes, su orografía, etc.El caso es que en uno de esos típicos días en los que hasta Internet aburre, acabo de descubrir que Google Maps muestra ahora curvas de nivel en sus mapas, concretamente en su modo de vista "Relieve" o "Terrain" (en

    Yahoo India Maps ad campaign
    2008-04-03 08:52:14
    Yahoo India has launched big ad campaign to promote its features and one of the key focus areas seems to be Yahoo India maps and the ad below can be repeatedly seen on Sony which has also been backed up by radio ads. Yahoo India Maps has been developed in Yahoo's Bangalore labs and is quite decent product at least for bigger cities with features like getting directions, and showing directions in the various regional languages and to me it is a definitely better product than Google 's India maps. However problems remain such as the information about various landmarks which seems to be based on information from Wikimapia and it is lacking for cities outside top metros and there is a large scope for improvement. With Google India also launching a print campaign to boost its Google India local feature it seems that battle between Google and Yahoo in India is going to be on local feature. However even worldwide both these companies are still trying to figure out the various problems

    Halo 3 Heroic maps free today

    Happy free Heroic Map Pack day everyone! For those with a little patience, you'll be rewarded today with Halo 3's former $10 set of maps for the cost of air (but not PerriAir; that the Spaceballs still charge for). The pack includes Standoff, Rat's Nest and Foundry. While we'd love to tell you all about these levels, we're getting our first taste of them today.With all that said, there's currently a hiccup in the system and the content - which was supposed to be free at 2AM pacific last night - is still listed for $10 on Xbox Live Marketplace. Bungie's forum has a nice thread (about to break 100 pages) on the issue and we're trying to get an answer from Major Nelson for the Microsoft angle. We'll update when the map pack actually becomes, you know ... free.Gallery: Halo 3 - Heroic Map Pack

    Good Reads: Throw Out The Maps
    2008-03-18 14:54:22
    John Heilemann: A Pants-Down PrimerUndoubtedly the scarcest commodity in American political life, with its sky-high levels of partisan polarization and its cable-news-driven incentives toward oppositionalism and contrarianism, is unanimity of opinion. So maybe the most astonishing thing about the Eliot Spitzer self-immolation was the gusher of agreement that it brought forth from all sides, especially on two points. First, there was the unalloyed shock that, of all people, Spitzer—that storied crusader against Wall Street corruption, that tireless scourge against all manner of malfeasance, that embodiment of political rectitude—could possibly have been engaged in transgressions so tawdry and venal, so reckless and just plain dumb. And second, there was the insta-verdict about what he had to do: apologize (as profusely as possible) and resign (as quickly as possible). But the long and endlessly entertaining history of political jiggery-pokery suggests that neither of these reactions

    Local results in Google maps added by users
    2008-03-17 09:51:37
    It is being reported in a number of blogs that Google are adding the ability for any user to add a place into Google maps. Currently, in order to add or edit a place/business in Google maps you need to register with Google Local Business Centre.  The registration involves a process that verifies that the business details (address, phone number, etc) are correct and can take anywhere from a few days (register by phone) to a few weeks (by post). The recent reports say that Google is implementing functionality to allow anyone to add a place into Google Maps and that these will be available to all search users (globally) within a few hours.  Although only available at the moment in the USA, apparently a new option is available on the left hand side when performing a search that says "Can't find what you're looking for? Add a place to the map."  As the following images demonstrate: I really am curious how this will be "policed" and verified

    Are you tired of those huge five pound RV and camping directories? Tired of web sites that lack content? Well, MapRvs is the newest in internet RV site searches and will soon make the others look obsolete. It is a futuristic, complete and accurate site that is like no other. Let's say you are looking for RV and camping sites outside of Phoenix, AZ. You simply go to the map of the United States, click a few times in the Phoenix area, and, voila, up pops little green dots with all the locations. As you click on each, a bubble appears with information on it. Further in, one can get directions to the site from anywhere, current weather conditions and contact information. Also, one can search for points of interest and other RV related establishments nearby.

    Fantasy Maps: Are They Important?
    2008-02-25 22:00:00
    I was doing my usual browsing and blog checking when I came on to this post from The Deckled Edge, which led me to this forum discussion, this post by Joe Abercrombie, and this post over at Neth Space. I guess it never occurred to me that the concept of map-making was such a big issue out there. As a fantasy reader, a 'writer' if you will, I do get a certain sense of joy from maps, but I've never held it against a book for not having a map, or against the author for that matter. So what is this big deal about maps? I think there are some serious issues with having maps, even though I do like them. Addressing the bad things first is probably the best way to approach this, giving me ample time to talk about the good things at the tale end. What are the bad things? First, I think there is this stigma with maps that if you make one, as I have, you have to stick with it so long as it is available to the prying eyes of readers.

    Google and Yahoo Site Maps
    2007-12-26 22:49:00
    Let’s discuss a site map (sometimes called a site index). To start, let’s see what Wikipedia has to say about it.“A site map (or sitemap) is a web page that lists the pages on a web site site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors, and search engine bots, to find pages on the site.Site maps can improve search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all the pages can be found. This is especially important if a site uses Macromedia Flash or JavaScript menus that do not include HTML links.Site maps do have limitations. Most search engines will only follow a finite number of links from a page, so if a site is very large, additional strategies besides the site map may be required that search engines, and visitors, can access all content on the site.While some developers argue that site index is a more appropriately used term to relay page function, web visitors are used to seeing each term and generally associate both as one in the same.”The important topic is the one about search enginge bots (robots or spiders) that crawl your website. It is very important to make it as easy as possible for the spider to search your site. The easier it is for the spider, the more likely you will improve your ranking with the search engine.Both Google and Yahoo have sitemap features associated with them. The requirements of each are a little different so if you maintain your site maps yourself, you will need to know about the differences. When you add a page to your site, you will need to update your site map and notify Google and Yahoo of the change so it can schedule a spider to come check your site for the new information.You can also go to Google and log on to add your site map to their database. Once it is added, you can log in and see when your site was last checked by the spider and if the spider encountered any problems in crawling your site. This is just another of the many functions that you need to perform in order to have a first

    New magical blue circle on your map: My position on Google Maps
    2007-12-12 03:17:00
    We've all been there: You're out and about, and you need to figure out where you are, what's around you, and how to get there. Google Maps for mobile can help you do all that, but first you have to enter in a starting point using the keypad. And let's face it -- entering things into your phone using the keypad is so 2006. While some people are lucky enough to have GPS-enabled mobile phones that provide location information for Google Maps for mobile, the vast majority of us are not. So what to do?Starting today, we have an answer: Google Maps for mobile with My Location . My Location is a new beta technology from Google that uses cell tower identification to provide you with approximate location information, so it will work on phones without GPS. Simply fire up Google Maps for mobile, press [0], and the map will indicate your approximate location by centering on a blue circle like this:If you do have a GPS-enabled device, My Location can actually complement it.

Midway has just announced that it plans on delivering a ten map update to Stranglehold. The John Woo-inspired shooter earned average reviews throughout, and failed to capture a significant online presence.

    My Location added to Google Maps, who needs GPS?
    2007-12-04 22:28:00
    If you are one of 85% mobile population not using phones equipped with GPS, do not despair cos Google comes to your rescue once again with the addition of My Location to its already available Google Maps. The "My Location" feature can get your location to an approximate 1000-meter accuracy, either by using GPS, if available on your phone, or by triangulating your location based on cell towers around you. The next time you are lost, the first step to get home is to whip out your cellphone.

    Google Boosts Mobile Maps with 'My Location'
    2007-11-29 09:46:00
    Internet search leader Google Inc. is testing technology that will find the location of people using its mobile mapping service, even if the phone making the connection isn't equipped with a GPS receiver.The new tracking feature introduced Wednesday is being touted as an added convenience because it will enable people on the go to skip the task of typing a starting address on a mobile handset's small keys when they turn to Google's maps for guidance.Using the technology, dubbed "My Location," simply requires pressing zero on a mobile handset equipped with the new software. The sender's location shows up as a blue dot on Google's mobile maps.The tracking system isn't set up to collect a user's phone number or any other personal information that would reveal a person's identity, said Steve Lee, product manager for Google's mobile maps. As a safeguard, the feature can be turned off at any time by simply clicking on a link in the help menu.Those assurances probably will alleviate

    New Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps
    2007-11-19 23:11:00
    Halo 3 will be getting three new multiplayer maps in less than three months after the game’s release. The Heroic Map Pack is coming on December 11 and will include a big-ass indoors map called Rat’s Nest for large team battle mayhem, a medium-sized outdoors map called Standoff, and an industrial warehouse map called Foundry that should be mostly suited for Forge madness.Sounds great, right? Wrong! The Map Pack will cost a ridiculous 800 MS points ($10). Think about it. You can buy Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 points. That’s just stupid. If you can wait a few months you’ll be able to get the Map Pack for free, but by then there will be another Map Pack with brand new maps and then you’ll want that one too, for another $10 or maybe even more. I love downloadable content, but hate Microsoft’s greed.

    Maps,Routes and things you find along the way
    2007-09-28 09:57:00
    Maps and Routes:On your way to your work place, that's if you don't work from home that is, you would travel along a well known route, you would take one of the many methods of travel, mechanical or physical, you would pass sign posts, people, buildings, the same things day in day out, maybe even the same conversation when you get your Americana with an extra shot sans milk. So whats the point to this, well I am sure you enter the company and it's the same there, you see the same picture, and react the same way, and maybe you are accustomed to what you see and hear, similar to your journey to work, well you are missing the best part of work, interaction with your own people. I have found by experience, that what makes work enjoyable is the interaction with my people and helping them develop and perform at there best, I hear and see what is going on in the company, I try to be aware of how people are feeling about the progress we are making and the challenges that are ahead, this allows you to gauge how effect you and your management team are. How many times have you left some small irritating illness alone and not bothered getting it seen to by a professional, I was in the outback this year up in Western Australia on the dampier peninsula on cable beach, where I was bitten, I saw the where the blood had been drawn but ignored it, a day later I was in bed with a fever that lasted 2 days, that was back in May, I still have an infection that is being treated by the doctor. The point is make it a point on the "to do" list to spend time with your people each day, walk the floor and listen, explore there ideas and plans, and you will be investing in the future of you and your company. You can map a good route, you can make the world's best road map, but it is the people along the way that will help you to get there, so watch, look and listen.SlainteGordon The daily challenges of an Entrepreneur living in the North East of England

    Google My Maps for Europe Itineraries
    2007-08-14 23:20:00
    Want to “map” out your day’s itinerary next time you’re in Europe? Give Google My Maps a try? Not just for finding driving directions anymore. Google has provided a customizable interface so you can create maps for whatever your needs may be. This could be a handy way to map out your daily city itinerary or places of note that you want to swing by during the course of your day. Entries can have descriptions and photos. If you’ve been to Europe and want to share your discoveries with friends this can be a useful way to share information. You can also insert a line to connect places or show your route. This is helpful for walking in a city that you aren’t familiar with. If you look up some of the more familiar landmarks there is an option to read user created content, where you can find reviews or notes of others that have visited those places. There is also the handy "search nearby" feature that's worth a try. Let's say you want to see what restaurants or bars are
