Mikel ----- Original Message ---- From: Giorgio Plazzotta To: worldkit-dev at lists.brainoff.com Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 6:28:27 AM Subject: [worldKit-dev] systems to manage RSS files I wonder is there are solutions that can help the worldkit manager to generate and update the RSS files. At the moment the option is to manahe the ascii RSS file with an editor. In many applications this is probably the quickiest solution but what is the elements in the map changes very often? In this case users will need a software tool to generate them. I wonder how the other worldkit users solved this part of their projects. Did u find other solutions in the open source words or did u develop your own software to do that?

It allows to add and edit items (points, lines and polygons) directly on the map, track and undo changes in a history, and link the map items either with a normal wiki or with individual urls. Map and linked pages are displayed in the same browser window. You can see two versions online, the standard one (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki/standard) and one linked to pmwiki (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki). The sources are at http://ctrlw.net/geowiki.tar.gz (@Mikel: can you host it on worldkit.org as well, if you don't mind? Maybe additionally to your older version, since that may still be useful). Compared to the original geowiki, you cannot display images for individual items on the map, since worldkit does not send this information to the browser, and the map is smaller now to display forms and linked sites on the same page. And the code got larger and more complex ;-) I'm happy about any feedback, especially from Windows users, since I could hardly test it with IE (it should work as well, but the behaviour is slightly different).

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: > > Hey Matt > > GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection > .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than > unprojected lat/long imagery. > > I am not aware of an easy way either, but am aware of A way. > http://brainoff.com/weblog/2006/06/02/1157 describes a bit of what we did > to reproject imagery of Indonesia into unprojected lat/long.

Yes worldKit needs a reprojected image, as well as the extents of that image. I suspect Google Earth also needs a reprojected image, and is simply using the original .. this may look good enough, though slightly imprecise. The smaller the extent of the image, the less effect the reprojection will actually have. Does this make sense? Sorry, didn't actually get to take a look at the KML, bandwith in my current location is severely limited.

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: Hey Matt GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than unprojected lat/long imagery.

It may have enough pointers to get going. You will have to have a "world file" for this image prepared. Let me know how it goes, we can hash it out.

At the moment the option is to manahe the ascii RSS file with an editor. In many applications this is probably the quickiest solution but what is the elements in the map changes very often? In this case users will need a software tool to generate them. I wonder how the other worldkit users solved this part of their projects.

It allows to add and edit items (points, lines and polygons) directly on the map, track and undo changes in a history, and link the map items either with a normal wiki or with individual urls. Map and linked pages are displayed in the same browser window. You can see two versions online, the standard one (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki/standard) and one linked to pmwiki (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki). The sources are at http://ctrlw.net/geowiki.tar.gz (@Mikel: can you host it on worldkit.org as well, if you don't mind? Maybe additionally to your older version, since that may still be useful). Compared to the original geowiki, you cannot display images for individual items on the map, since worldkit does not send this information to the browser, and the map is smaller now to display forms and linked sites on the same page. And the code got larger and more complex ;-) I'm happy about any feedback, especially from Windows users, since I could hardly test it with IE (it should work as well, but the behaviour is slightly different).

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: > > Hey Matt > > GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection > .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than > unprojected lat/long imagery. > > I am not aware of an easy way either, but am aware of A way. > http://brainoff.com/weblog/2006/06/02/1157 describes a bit of what we did > to reproject imagery of Indonesia into unprojected lat/long.

Yes worldKit needs a reprojected image, as well as the extents of that image. I suspect Google Earth also needs a reprojected image, and is simply using the original .. this may look good enough, though slightly imprecise. The smaller the extent of the image, the less effect the reprojection will actually have. Does this make sense? Sorry, didn't actually get to take a look at the KML, bandwith in my current location is severely limited.

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: Hey Matt GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than unprojected lat/long imagery.

It allows to add and edit items (points, lines and polygons) directly on the map, track and undo changes in a history, and link the map items either with a normal wiki or with individual urls. Map and linked pages are displayed in the same browser window. You can see two versions online, the standard one (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki/standard) and one linked to pmwiki (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki). The sources are at http://ctrlw.net/geowiki.tar.gz (@Mikel: can you host it on worldkit.org as well, if you don't mind? Maybe additionally to your older version, since that may still be useful). Compared to the original geowiki, you cannot display images for individual items on the map, since worldkit does not send this information to the browser, and the map is smaller now to display forms and linked sites on the same page. And the code got larger and more complex ;-) I'm happy about any feedback, especially from Windows users, since I could hardly test it with IE (it should work as well, but the behaviour is slightly different).

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit.

Yes worldKit needs a reprojected image, as well as the extents of that image. I suspect Google Earth also needs a reprojected image, and is simply using the original .. this may look good enough, though slightly imprecise. The smaller the extent of the image, the less effect the reprojection will actually have. Does this make sense? Sorry, didn't actually get to take a look at the KML, bandwith in my current location is severely limited.

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: Hey Matt GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than unprojected lat/long imagery.

It may have enough pointers to get going. You will have to have a "world file" for this image prepared. Let me know how it goes, we can hash it out.

It allows to add and edit items (points, lines and polygons) directly on the map, track and undo changes in a history, and link the map items either with a normal wiki or with individual urls. Map and linked pages are displayed in the same browser window. You can see two versions online, the standard one (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki/standard) and one linked to pmwiki (http://ctrlw.net/geo/geowiki). The sources are at http://ctrlw.net/geowiki.tar.gz (@Mikel: can you host it on worldkit.org as well, if you don't mind? Maybe additionally to your older version, since that may still be useful). Compared to the original geowiki, you cannot display images for individual items on the map, since worldkit does not send this information to the browser, and the map is smaller now to display forms and linked sites on the same page. And the code got larger and more complex ;-) I'm happy about any feedback, especially from Windows users, since I could hardly test it with IE (it should work as well, but the behaviour is slightly different).

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: > > Hey Matt > > GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection > .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than > unprojected lat/long imagery. > > I am not aware of an easy way either, but am aware of A way. > http://brainoff.com/weblog/2006/06/02/1157 describes a bit of what we did > to reproject imagery of Indonesia into unprojected lat/long.

Yes worldKit needs a reprojected image, as well as the extents of that image. I suspect Google Earth also needs a reprojected image, and is simply using the original .. this may look good enough, though slightly imprecise. The smaller the extent of the image, the less effect the reprojection will actually have. Does this make sense? Sorry, didn't actually get to take a look at the KML, bandwith in my current location is severely limited.

I found an article on redearn formula that is used to convert between GDA9A Northing and easting to LAT and LONGS. I then wrote and and PHP file to convert "BBOX=" values to northings and eastings to request the correct file. And it seems to work well. (there is a problem with zooming west of King island - as the server does not seem to allow request outside of zone 55 - so don't go west of king Island. The script outputs a KML file for google earth to create an overlay - seems to work well. But for this to work with world kit I think I need to pass an image not a xml file with the location of the image. So next step is to pull out the PHP book again and learn how to pass and image file - unless you have a better idea. (I would rather not have to load the image into the server and then send it again - this would be very slow) The script still have a little bit of tweeking you may notice the top of the map is stretched out a bit. I have attached the KML file to play with -- remember to zoom right into Tasmania Australia (that is under downunder) Matt :) On 6/14/06, Mikel Maron wrote: Hey Matt GDA94 [Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94)] is a UTM projection .. chosen since it will produce less distorted images over Australia than unprojected lat/long imagery.

It may have enough pointers to get going. You will have to have a "world file" for this image prepared. Let me know how it goes, we can hash it out.

I have been checking out the various example sites to get a handle on the type of functionality that it offers. It seems from the many examples on the Worldkit website that its not possible to display the photos on the same page as the map without browser refresh. Is this really the case? Can anyone direct me to a website which makes full use of the fetaures available in Worldkit in particular the use of GIS-like layers?

Is this really the case? Certainly is possible, to display images directly in worldKit.. http://worldkit.org/doc/rss.php#thumb .. or in DOM elements loaded by Javascript http://worldkit.org/doc/javascript.php#from > Can anyone direct me to a website which makes full use of the fetaures > available in Worldkit in particular the use of GIS-like layers? Hidden Ecologies is a good example of layers... http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/database/map/Hidden_Ecologies/herons_head/herons_head_map.asp http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/database/map/Hidden_Ecologies/south_bay/south_bay_map.asp Cheers, Mikel From matt at wildcolour.com Fri Jun 9 20:13:53 2006 From: matt at wildcolour.com (Matt McClelland) Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 13:13:53 +1000 Subject: [worldKit-dev] use of GDA94 in world kit Message-ID: one data source that I am wanting to use with worldkit is in a GDA94 system (as apposed to normal lat and longs used in worldkit) I really don't understand why there are different systems, but hay. I am not aware of any easy way to convert between GDA94 and lat long, so I am a bit stuck in how to intergrate this into world kit. Here is a url with a sample image http://www.thelist.tas.gov.au/listmap/servlet/listmapGetMap?minx=440000&miny=5371500&maxx=446000&maxy=5376000&iwidth=1600&iheight=1600&layers=26,194,22,19,18,2,197,196,39,40,198,27,28,195,20,202,10,25&imageno=41&grid=true you can see the easting and northing figures in the minx miny (and maxx maxy) (this map source is for the state of tasmania in Australia and is protected under copyright, ra ra ra) Any ideas??? thanks Matt :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't want to include 'the time' but the points don't dsiplay in order of date at the moment.
