The desire to add useful information to these interfaces has led developers to create custom applications that overlay housing prices, crime rates, bus locations, and other data on top of browsable maps. These applications are possible due to useful APIs that Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth publish to overlay location data on maps. We envision a new class of applications that relies on real-time sensor data and its mash-up with the geocentric Web to provide instantaneous environmental visibility and timely decision support.}, issn = {0018-9162}, timestamp = {2008.02.19}, file = {IEEE Digital Library:2007/NathLiuZhao07IEEEcomputer.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, keywords = {application data ieee information map microsoft network paper processing sensor soap spatial storage v0805 web windows } } @article{KansalNathEtAl07IEEEmultimedia, title = {{SenseWeb:} An Infrastructure for Shared Sensing}, author = {Aman Kansal and Suman Nath and Jie Liu and Feng Zhao}, journal = {Multimedia}, number = {4}, pages = {8-13}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MMUL.2007.82}, volume = {14}, year = {2007}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/26ab886ce25fce0b35301335aeb69241c/flint63}, abstract = {Web 2.0 is an emerging paradigm for applications and user interactions.

An image repository would become a costly and meaningless data graveyard without descriptive metadata. We adapted EPrints, a conventional repository software system, to create a biological research image repository for a local research group, in order to publish images with structured metadata with a minimum of development effort. However, in its native installation, this repository cannot easily be linked with information from third parties, and the user interface has limited flexibility. We address these two limitations by providing Semantic Web access to the contents of this image repository, causing the image metadata to become programmatically accessible through a SPARQL endpoint and enabling the images and their metadata to be presented in more flexible faceted browsers, jSpace and Exhibit. We show the feasibility of publishing image metadata on the Semantic Web using existing tools, and examine the inadequacies of the Semantic Web browsers in providing effective user interfaces. We highlight the importance of a loosely coupled software framework that provides a lightweight solution and enables us to switch between alternative components.}, keywords = {application applications-2 browsing faceted images semantic sparql web } }
