[VerySpatial] Morning Plenary Notes from the Opening Day - VerySpatial: The guy I’ve decided is probably Jack just asked us to turn around and introduce ourselves to someone around us. Apparently they used to have everyone stand and introduce themselves back in the day, but that’s a little bit hard with 13,000 or so people.

[Comments for James Fee GIS Blog] James Fee GIS Blog » Blog Archive » New Google Earth Licensing ...: [...] Google Earth Blog (top GE watchdog) posted the news that the license agreement for Google Earth Free and Plus Version 4.2 (released August 22) has been revised significantly.   Business users can now use the browser for internal communications.  This is good news for “business geographic developers”.  We can now write customized KML files with internal geographic data which can be distributed within a company to employees, and viewed in the Google Earth browser, the free version as opposed to the costly Pro version.   It appears that it is still illegal to use Google Earth for “external business (commercial) applications”, but the internal license opens up some very interesting possibilities!  More on this change is available at GEB, and also James Fee.

[Ogle Earth] Ogle Earth: Interview with Arc2Earth's Brian Flood: Additionally, ArcGIS contains 10 separate renderers (elevation, aspect, slope etc.) that can all be used in conjunction with each other and some of these will break the base triangle data into even smaller polygons during the display process. Getting this all to translate into KML was difficult but ultimately very rewarding and will hopefully be useful in displaying data in GE (scientific analysis, terrain modeling or new building sites where the terrain has changed).

[Slashgeo] Slashgeo | Lessons Learned from Neogeography Applied to GIS: how to create genealogical maps and Google Earth animations of your family's ancestry; The earthquake in Sichuan on May 12, 2008, drove home beyond all doubt to Chinese leaders what a huge boon easy access to satellite imagery is in disaster relief operations.

[geo2web.com] Crysis Physics Engine - geo2web.com: David Barkol shows you how to reference the Virtual Earth v6 Map Control via HTTPS for authenticated/encrypted communication. For many of you this new feature in VE v6 isn’t needed and carries a few milliseconds of latency, but if you’re building enterprise applications that require secure communications there hasn’t been an easy way [...]

[GIS in XML] GIS in XML » Blog Archive » weogeo and web2.0: It remains to be seen if the weogeo service will be successful in a larger sense. In spite of its beautiful Ruby Rails interface, its community wicki and blog services, its seller incentives, and its scalable AWS foundation, it will have to attract a significant user community with free and immediately accessible data resources to make it as a viable business in a web2.0 world.

[Comments for Off the Map - Official Blog of FortiusOne] Data is the Public Good. Data is the Infrastructure. Data is the ...: - many agencies themselves are still trying to get that data available, even for their own use. In some cases, even the geodata isn’t readily sharable, as it may reside in operational data stores, which is being continually updated, but which needs to be vetted for quality/completeness/accuracy prior to public access, along with data which might need to be scrubbed due to various security considerations, such as personal data, confidential business data, sensitive/critical infrastructure security, and so on.

[Directions Magazine - Press Releases] Editorials: Those of us who thought CD and DVD technologies were a boon to data delivery can think again.Now even these are not good enough.In the Internet age, the main method of delivery should be via the Web (for those who can afford the bandwidth). This data will be made accessible via its platform interfaces (Maps API and KML).Perhaps it is these interfaces that will open up data access far more than the ones the geospatial industry has been pushing for quite a while now.

[Slashgeo: Industry] Slashgeo | Recent GeoNews: Maps, iPhone, ArcGIS Virtualisation ...: * Position * Map * Routing * Geocode * Track Logs" From the presentation's synopsis: "Emerging open-standards such as GeoRSS, KML, geo-uri, and Geo W3C all enable easy publishing and sharing of geographic information from many data sources. GeoClue aims to provide users with a application that can determine their position from a variety of location providers and find information that is local to them."

[Joel Dehlin] Joel Dehlin: LDS.ORG: c) Not really part of lds.org, but goes along with the MLS and online membership data: Please allow filtered Web access from the membership clerk’s office to be able to look up addresses on sites such as whitepages.com. It’s such a productivity killer to have to go home to do that research (especially in non-Utah areas where the chapel is a 20 minute drive or a 20 mile walk) and then try to merge that back into the database from a printed copy or copy/pasting by hand from a spreadsheet created at home.
