• An Infrastructure for the New Geography

    There’s a post over at Future Now with a pointer to a new paper titled Infrastructure for the New Geography (PDF). I think it does a great job of laying down some of the possible benefits of having geographic data available. Not just being able to include information about where... [Read More]
