Geo Information – How The World’s Getting Smaller

admin — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:20:29 +0000

This article is a case study on how the world is getting smaller – how news, technology and information move from one site of the globe to another at a ferocious pace, and how quickly information can become geo information – information for the entire world.
This case study is about the electronic cigarette – developed in China in the start of this millennia, it has quickly spread to the entire globe:

2003/4: The electronic cigarette was launched on the Chinese market by a company named Ruyan. It was quickly copied by many other Chinese companies.
2006: Ruyan received an international patent, and started exporting the electronic cigarette across the globe.
2012: Today you can buy electronic cigarettes all across the globe. There are many national retailers, many small webshops that sells non-brand electronic cigarettes, and then there are some multinational companies like Super-Smoke, Green Smoke, and Blue Cig, Totally Wicked etc. who sells in different languages and at different markets.

So, it took only 2-3 years from the time the electronic cigarette was first launched and till it was internationally sold. And only 6 more years until today, where it’s looking like the electronic cigarette is going to replace the normal cigarettes as the primary source for nicotine.
That’s an excellent example of Geo Information in use- the information spreads rapidly and in less than 10 years a new product can become a normal thing to use for the entire globe.

Open Source Software For Geoinformation Systems

admin — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:43:15 +0000

As of 1994, the Open Geospatial Consortium, more simply known as OGC, has developed open source software and set industry standards for geospatial data, content and services. First known as Open GIS Consortium, the group of over 380 different governments, research facilities, universities, companies and private individuals now comprises the membership in OGC. Their major function is twofold, first to set standards for reference in geoinformation software and programs and second to determine the accuracy and completeness of the various software programs available.
Some of the programs supported by OGC have been long standing offerings. These include GRASS GIS, which was first developed by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers. Considered by many to the most accurate GIS, this program in open source software and can be used with Mac and PC operating systems. It uses a graphical user interface or GUI and allows for 3D viewing of different types of graphic data and images.
Another free software option that meets all OGC standards is Quantum GIS. This system works with Linux, Mac, Windows and Unix and allows the user to manipulate, view, edit and analysis geoinformation from a variety of sources. It has a smaller file size than GRASS and is simple to run with other applications even on older hardware versions. As with other open source software it is largely developed and managed by volunteers, making it truly a user community development effort.
