Time and Space Session?
Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | sean gillies
I’d like to find out what you all are doing with time and space data, and applications like Simile Timeline, Google Earth, SketchUp, Second Life, or even conventional GIS software. Omeka has some geospatial features now — we could discuss future directions and perhaps do a little hacking. I hope Mikel Maron would be interested in talking about OpenStreetMap and implications for open historical geodata, and Bill Turkel about GeoDJ and that sort of locative exhibit appliance. I’d be surprised if many of you didn’t have equally interesting projects in time and space.
Any interest in such a session?
Somewhat related: I’m experimenting with using the OpenLayers (openlayers.org) javascript library as a tool for study and annotation of images on the Web. My demo is at atlantides.org/inscriptol/. It’s just an inscription tracing toy at the moment, but I’m eager to discuss how it might be enhanced to upload and share captured data with anybody who is interested.

Count me in for anything that deals with displaying geospatial data.

Time and space seems to be a thread connecting several posts. I would very much like to participate in these discussions. I’m beginning to feel like there’s so much to see and so little time, I’ll be interested to see how it all comes together on Saturday morning!

I’m definitely interested in things spatial. I manage a website dedicated to historic cemeteries so I am interested in finding open-source programs to map gravestones within cemeteries and, in turn, cemeteries within communities. So far I am stuck with flash for a community map and excel charts (gathered from Total Station data)/with an illustrator overlay for gravestone mapping. I would love to figure out how to automate the process given that I’m up to 6000 gravestones and 50 cemeteries. I realize GIS can do this, but I want something more visually pleasing and open-source.
From everyone’s bios it seemed as if we had several highlight qualified individuals to speak about geospatial tools. A session on that topic would be great.

I just finished the draft of a project using Modest Maps. I’d like to be a part of this session. – David

I am very interested in extending the spatiality of Omeka, in particular…
