Saturday, March 10, 2007. During the past two-weeks I have been teaching my post-graduates about geographical position, latitude and longitude, degrees, minutes, seconds, and decimal degrees. It might seem very easy to seasoned geo-informatics practioners, but students were finding it a little difficult. The problem surfaced when I expected the students to make different sized boundary boxes around a central point to insert some of our OGC web maps. Longitude 18 37 36.1. Latitude -33 55 53.4. I have not ...

Thursday, March 1, 2007. Using OGC Web Map Services in your BLOG. What is an OGC Map Service? When you start your course you are going to hear a lot about GIS Standards and Interoperability and the word OGC will crop up. Almost all of the major web-map development has in some way addressed OGC. An OGC architecture is firmly rooted in virtually all of the Open or Freely available GIS applications plus some propriety applications. What are OpenGIS Specifications? To view our OGC Web Map Service, you will n...
