Step 1: Find lat/long for each library Step 2: Create the map
Other Google Map Builders
• www.yourgmap.com
• www.mapbuilder.net/– Google or Yahoo maps
• www.frappr.com
Technical Issues
• In its infancy• Mashup tools are fall short of the ideal• Better universal registry for mashup APIs • Scale and dependencies issues• How much to invest?
– Not licensing but using “free” data• Development is quicker with languages
like Ruby
Social Issues
• Intellectual property issues – “right to remix”
• Provenance• Origin or source • Authority
• Unintended consequences (positive and negative)– Identifying “banned books” readers or by mining
Amazon Wishlists and combining information with Yahoo People …
– End users can create and customize and merge data/maps/text to create new services and information without programming
• Client side scripts that modify pages• All instances of Microsoft on any site are rewritten to say “the
d*!?! Microsoft”
