Hack Google Map & Google Earth 廖泫銘 中央研究院計算中心
Focus • The term hack refer to a “quick-and-dirty” solution to a problem, or a clever way to something done. (Schuyler Erle, Mapping Hacks,2005) • Low barriers to experimentation mean that the system is "hacker friendly" for maximum innovation and Interoperability • The Google Earth/Map is cool. How to take advantage of it ?
Why it is so cool? • Commercial GIS packages can do similar results provided by Google Earth in many years ago • But …. • Software (ex:ArcView) & Satellite Images is still too expensive for the public • No Rich Contents • Not "hacker friendly"
Killer Apps for GIS • GPS (Selective Availability was turned off), 2000 • High Resolution Satellites Images, 2000 • Google Map/Earth, 2005
How they make different? • More detailed geospatial data • More open data policy • More easy to handle spatial information A platform always beats an application
How to hack • Google Map • Google Map API • Google Earth • KML • Some tests • http://gis.ascc.net/googlemap/
For Digital Archives • Another entry point • Spatial query interface • Data integration platform • Be data provider

For communities • "You'll be able to take content from Spaces into Virtual Earth and take content from Virtual Earth into Spaces and share it with whomever you want to share it with," says Mark Law, lead product manager for MSN Virtual Earth. • Spaces is meant to MSN Blog. • Don’t forget Google has .
The way to communicate for space • Virtual Earth Permalink • Ex:http://virtualearth.msn.com/default.aspx?cp=25.032036|121.207885&style=r&lvl=9&v=1 • Keyhole Community BBS
What we need? • GeoCoding Service • 3D GIS Data • Local information • More open mind
