BrightEarth

BrightEarth is a project dedicated to exploring ways in which a new generation of Internet mapping tools can improve the sharing of information about humanitarian issues, both among the organizations directly involved and with the wider public. BrightEarth will help humanitarian organizations publish information to 3D virtual globes such as Google Earth, ESRI ArcGIS Explorer and NASA’s World Wind.

pretty sure this does not matter. what has web3d done for you recently?

Towards the Geoweb

heh. the economist calls my work on kml standardization “the road to web 3.0”.
2007-10-18: Mining Information from Collections and KML

Among the results were many amazing links that completed my research by taking me to geo-referenced content on the web; the Rome honeymoon Collection lead me to this great photo of the fountain and this KML file from Google’s keyhole BBS lead me to this stunning Panorama of the area.

I hope this brief overview helps get you started with this new feature in Live search maps. I find it to be one of the most fun and useful (I’m biased as I work on the VE Collections team), and when combined with other features like 3D Birds eye navigation the line between research and leisurely exploration get pretty blurry

very commendable how they talk about the geoweb.

Better GIS

SDI’s take years, if not decades, before they are ‘fully operational’. In less than 2 and half years Google has built a better ‘SDI’ than anyone else in the world.

i love disrupting industries asleep at the wheel.

Google and the Geospatial Web

What they are going for now is much more ambitious, and indeed a bit more risky. And so I applaud them for it – they are putting a stake in the ground that says ‘our best ideas are not behind us’. They are going to be a leading force in a much bigger pie.
