- Abstract:
- It is becoming more common to "hide" information in Web pages for retrieval
by intelligent Web clients; this may be done by elements in the header, or by tagging
of material in the page body (microformats). One application of this is attached
geographical location to objects, which can be used to link to maps, or provide
input to dynamic mashups. The purpose of this section is to
- put together a set of small demonstrations of applications in different institutions
(at least Salford, Bath, Oxford and Northumbria)
- discuss different techniques of acquiring and storing data
- see whether there are any useful inter-institutional collaborations to work on
- Learning Objectives:
- By the end of the session participants will come away with an understanding
of the uses of geolinking on web pages, a knowledge of the principal techniques
and a plan of action for their institution.
