Slide 18: Where 2.0? USGS, Landsat Base Map Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft ESRI, MapInfo SDK Softwares Web Maps APIs Topography, River, Layers Photo, Video, Tour Spots, Building Blog Outsourced digitizing Participators Web users vendors GML, WFS, WMS Standards GeoRSS, KML Government, local GIS 3rd Party Mashup developers vendors 18

Slide 19: Principals of 2.0 • How the Web Succeed? HTML Not Semantic Web (Machine-based Technology) • How the Geospatial Web? Google Maps Not ArcWeb (Proprietary-software Technology • How to make Geospatial Web to Web? Public Resources Easy Participation 19

Slide 20: Easy Participation of Alpha Users! 20

Slide 21: The Status of Where 2.0 • Data Visualization Google Earth, Yahoo Maps, MSN Virtual Earth, NASA World Wind • Social Data Social Location Mash-up • The Needs for Standards GML, KML, GeoRSS… • Movement of Desktop ESRI, GDAL, GLASS, UDIG • Location Sensing Plaze, Skyhook 21

Slide 22: Change: Conventional GIS Vendors • MapQuest The largest U.S based web map service provider OpenAPI Best service (2006) • ESRI The largest GIS vendors, Start-up to Web GIS. First sponsorship for Where 2.0 2006 • Skyline 3D Modeling Company. Patent issue with Google (Keyhole) • Autodesk Heading to Open Source (MapGuide Server) 22

Slide 24: Map APIs : pros and cons Pros Cons Google Map First Ajax based brilliant looking map Only Javascript libray International base map (Europe, Japan) Detail world-wide aerial photos Largest developer based APIs Lots of hacks and mash-up Yahoo! Map First external geocoding capability U.S. and Canada only Very flexible and open API's Flyouts not quite as spiffy as Google Rate limiting by IP instead of appID GeoRSS support Flash/Flex version available AOL MapQuest Frist routing (driving directions) capability No smooth Ajax client (yet) Geocoding capability Slow functional changes Large users and big market share Weak documentations Microsft Virtual Well documented and sample sites Low Performance Earth Detail Building shape and 3D view 24

Slide 25: Google Map API Code <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=ABCDEFG\"></script> <script type=\"text/javascript\"> google.load(\"maps\", \"2.x\"); // Call this function when the page has been loaded function initialize() { var map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById(\"map\")); map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13); } google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize); </script> 25
