Google Maps Mashups

Principles and Applications


Brochure (not available) Registration module (not available)


The recent technical developments in the world of GIScience and the growing role of the Internet as an infrastructure for sharing of geographical data, has fuelled a massive migration from static to more dynamic webmapping applications. The diffusion of Google Maps and Google Earth with the availabilty of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) stimulates user to develop various web application that allow to visualise and access geographic inforamtion in a fast, easy and effective way. These web applications that incorporate the principles of O'Reilly's Web 2.0, are pushing towards the creations of new standards that the major actors in the geographic information's market (ESRI, Oracle, ecc.) are willing to adopt. The crash course's final objective is to provide an overview on the state of the art technology and principles of Google Maps Mashups with a particular reference to the APIs. Some of the course topics will be presented by the analysis of London Profiler, a website developed at CASA/UCL (Center for Advanced Spatial Analysis - University College of London) for the visualisation of population and socio-economic data. London profiler is one of the very few example of map mashups using geographical areal units.
