Mapping Software and City Government







Mapping Software and City Government

Mapping Software and City Government 02/10/2004 02:49 AM

Mapping Software Jolts City Governments: Neat article on the use of mapping software and GIS in city governments.

Specialized mapping software helped New York plot the addresses of people who had called to complain about having lost their heat during a recent cold snap. That helped determine precisely where the city should set up "heating centers" for New Yorkers to huddle in.

I visited the GIS department of little 'ol Sioux Falls, South Dakota last week, and I was very impressed at what even our little town (120,000 people) has for mapping.

I sat in the zoning department and brought up a aerial image of the city, zoomed in on a half-mile square area, and could turn off on and on layers like the satellite image, zoning, water and sewer lines, building outlines, plat lines, etc. It was eerily like a real-world version of SimCity.

They sold the whole bundle of images and layers for about $6,000 for the entire city. It amounted to hundreds of gigabytes of data, for a just nine-square mile metro area.

Mapping the News


Mapping the News 08/03/2004 09:13 AM
newsisfree This is a beta of "News Maps" from NewsIsFree. The image, created by a Java applet, shows a "technology news map" of current event in the tech sphere. Here's how NewsIsFree describes the site:
NewsKnowledge and The Hive Group have joined forces to bring you News Maps, visual maps of the NewsIsFree headline database. News Maps allow you to quickly scan dozens of news articles and instantly understand what's being reported all over the world. Each square in the News Map is an article. You can obtain additional detail on each article by moving your mouse over it. You can read an article by clicking on it. The Hive Group's Honeycomb algorithm organizes news headlines by source. Size and Color information indicate article age and popularity. You can easily filter and rearrange you results to view articles that meet certain criteria, or that contain certain text.
This kind of mapping isn't an entirely new idea. And the potential, for now, seems greater than the achievement. But this is an intriguing approach to making the daily information flood a little less intimidating and a little more manageable. I'll be watching with interest. (Cross-posted to We the Media.)
