Google Maps and Google Earth What's happening at institutional level at
Salford? Early prototype for campus map (Jan
2005) On ice (beta) since then, but now
being revived http://www.salford.ac.uk/travel/google
_map/

Google Maps and Google Earth Challenges to build?
Acquiring geo data Integrating into web pages
![Page 8: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Google Earth as authoring tool
![Page 9: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Google Earth as authoring tool
![Page 10: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Google Maps API http://www.google.com/apis/maps/docu
mentation/ Customisation to read KML files directly Tweaks to automagically determine
center point (zoom level in next round of tweaks)
![Page 11: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Potential issues? Innovative?
Maybe in 2005... Geo data easy to maintain?
Separate KML file Accessibility of interface?

Geo metadata for web sites/pages ...or how I waste my spare time http://geourl.org

geourl.org in all its glory
![Page 14: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
geourl.org process Find your coordinates Add relevant META elements to page/site Submit your site to geourl.org

geourl.org in action - near LAT/LONG

geourl.org - but is it useful? On its own, use is quite limited
Not really aimed at end user - just the geeks?
Interface not intuitive Relies on sites being tagged and submitted
However... Good data repository (while it's up) Can output RSS ... transformable / mash-up-
able Some sites added the META, which can be
exposed to user
![Page 19: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Transformers... Converting RSS (an XML format) into
KML (another XML format) XSLT - powerful and standardised http://www.splintered.co.uk/

GeoURL to Google Earth

GeoURL to Google Earth

Still fairly niche... ...but imagine the possibilities
pages/sites with standardised geo META
repository for this information (harvested?)
XML output and transformation Google Earth, Google Maps, etc for
end user presentation
![Page 23: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ICBM/geo.location data for end-users?

Beyond browser extensions Making the META information useful
does not have to happen at browser extension level
Could build a web-based tool/script: Pass it your URL Have the user sent to relevant map
Important bit: your geo data is embedded in your page's HEAD, not in a separate file
![Page 27: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Flickr - now also for non-geeks Good example of end-user friendly
geolocation Used to be niche: hand-tagging
images Now with WYSIWYG functionality With certain cameras/phones: no end-
user involvement necessary
![Page 28: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Flickr - hand-tagging of old
![Page 29: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Flickr - now WYSIWYG
![Page 30: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Flickr - end-user friendly
![Page 31: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Flickr + Google Maps + ... Geotagged photos can be put to use
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ Mash-up with campus map? UK-wide
map? Flickr as repository is extensible
Machine tags - roll your own mash-up friendly categorisation
http://www.revish.com - book:isbn=XXXXXXX
For universities ... institution code?

Microformats Extending HTML usefulness via current
technologies Embedding machine-readable data in
pages http://microformats.org/wiki/geo
![Page 33: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Simple geo microformat examples<div class="geo">GEO:
<span class="latitude">37.386013</span>,
<span class="longitude">-122.082932</span>
</div>
<div class="geo">
<abbr class="latitude" title="37.408183">N 37° 24.491</abbr>
<abbr class="longitude" title="-122.13855">W 122° 08.313</abbr>
</div>
![Page 34: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Why microformats? Jeremy Keith http://adactio.com/ : 'Your page
becomes your API' - geo data not in a separate file
Can be piped through a script to extract data PHP5 - http://allinthehead.com/hkit/ (only
vcard microformat at the moment, but extensible)
If using XHTML - could use XSLT Firefox 3.0 to support microformats natively (in
the meantime, there's Operator) Accessibility issues?

Extending XML By definition: eXtensible Markup
Language Geolocating RSS feeds
http://georss.org/ http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/
XHTML (sent as application/xhtml+xml) + Geo
etc
![Page 36: Geolinking content Patrick H. Lauke / Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 / York Experiments in connecting virtual and physical places.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e395503460f94b2af01/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Some sort of conclusion? Considerations on how geo data is stored:
In a separate file (KML)? As part of your page (META, microformat,
other)? On a 3rd party site (Flickr)?
How maintainable is it? What's the value to the end-user?
