GeoCommons Contest by BOTH

"GeoCommons mashup is a formidable set up by FortiusOne , which has two main objectives. The first is to make available to users - with knowledge too little or nothing of GIS and cartography - a map building tool simple and effective. The second is to create a large repository of geographic data generated by users themselves and freely usable Creative Commons licensed .

But what makes it much easier to do GC? Certainly this is not a GIS environment itself, with which you can create complex maps and articulate, with the option of using raster layer and an advanced styiling those vectors. The purpose of GeoCommons is in fact to "make analysis using visual maps, allowing users without technical knowledge to view multiple datasets, reach conclusions, make decisions and solve problems without resorting to GIS .

GC_point_style With Maker! - the builder of the GC map - you can, after registering, is starting to make maps from data repositories on the GC - provided by others - that their import it into your account as shapefile as spreadsheet CSV or KML . Will be a good idea to tag the data with terms that describe the content and geographic area, so as to make them easily detectable by other users. The data loaded will essere rigorosamente in WGS84 , poichè GC non supporta la riproiezione al volo. Finder! è invece semplicemente il motore di ricerca del data repository di GC.

Come detto, GeoCommons non è un GIS ma fa bene il suo lavoro. "

Ancient Rome 3D in Google Earth!

Stamattina a Roma è stato presentato il progetto Roma Antica in 3D , grazie al quale possiamo ora visitare la Roma Imperiale : sono stati infatti ricostruiti fedelmente in 3D beautiful 6700-era buildings ' Emperor Constantine .

Simply amazing, the state of the art of what you can do today with Google Earth.

For those who still do not have Google Earth , remember that it's free and you can download from here .

A preview of what awaits you can have with this YouTube video :

For detailed instructions, I leave you with words

Gianni Alemanno, Mayor of Rome

"What fascinated me most about this project is the fidelity and accuracy in three-dimensional reconstruction of Imperial Rome . Thanks to Ancient Rome in 3D Google will be possible for anyone, in Rome as in Calcutta over the Internet, go back in time to the discovery of the City as it appeared 1.6 88 years ago at the time of ' Emperor Constantine.

is a grande emozione poter ammirare con la telecamera virtuale i monumenti, le strade, i palazzi dell’Antica Roma, entrare negli edifici e visualizzarli nei loro minimi dettagli architettonici: dal Colosseo  al Ludus Magnus, dal Foro di Cesare all’Arco di Settimio Severo, dalla tribuna Rostra alla Basilica Julia.  

Sono 6.700 gli edifici dell’Antica Roma ricostruiti in 3D e visualizzabili attraverso questo progetto: un vero primato. Si tratta di un’esperienza straordinaria che dimostra quanto le nuove tecnologie possano fare per promuovere cultura e diffondere conoscenza. 

Ancient Rome Google is a powerful incentive to rediscover the greatness of Roman civilization that then
and at the base of our identity as Italians, Europeans and, more generally, of Western. Archaeological, artistic and monumental Roman Empire spans several continents, but in the capital (at the time of the Romans was Caput Mundi ) has its primary focus.

Works like the Coliseum (one of the seven wonders of the world) have been able to defeat the very tough test of time, resisting for centuries to looting, invasions and wars, witnessing with the immortality of rock the size of one of the most majestic empire never existed.

The idea that today, thanks to the evolution of virtual reality combined with the large capacity of the Web, you can travel in time and visit the city to administer as it was in 320 AD excites me and fills me with pride, having inherited as Mayor of this city also its glorious past.

The presentation of the three-dimensional layer Ancient Rome 3D classroom Giulio Cesare, proprio sotto la sua grande statua di marmo, è stata una scelta vincente, soprattutto per promuovere e far comprendere la grandezza di questa città a livello globale."
