Key Concepts and Techniques in GIS

2009-08-06T09:25:00.000-07:00

"There are probably millions who use GIS, there are far fewer who have had a sysmatic introduction to the topic. Many are self-trained and good at the very small aspect of GIS they are doing on an everyday basis, but they lack the bigger picture. Others have learned GIS somewhat sysmatically in school but were trained with a particular piece of software in mind-and in any case were not made aware of modern methods and techniques." by Jochen Albrecht.

Why I am here?

2008-10-22T21:32:00.000-07:00

It's "Scientific Applications with Google Earth Conference" who brings me here. in order to register to the conference, you need pay your registration fee via Google checkout with your google account. Here comes my gmail account.
After being back from the conference, I feel it would be good to setup this blog and share ideas.

Ok, let's start the blog from the conference. The theme of the conference is "Scientific applications with Google Earth", I don't see any scientific research application built on Google Earth in the conference. Google Earth is a tool of presenting of data, but not a tool to do analysis on data. "to most viewers the presentation is the data" (Quoted by Michael Weiss-Malik from Google). I think this is the level which Google Earth is at. Google Earth is a presentation tool for public users not GIS professionals.
The blog "Butterflies Dance" summarized the conference. http://butterflies-dance.blogspot.com/2008/10/google-earth-scientific-applications.html. I also saw a lot of interesting applications built on Google Earth API.
