Geosemble leverages Oracle Spatial to deliver unique geospatial text visualization to government and commercial enterprise users.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., January 22, 2010 - Geosemble® Technologies Inc., a leader in the automatic integration of text with aerial imagery, announced its membership in the Oracle® PartnerNetwork, a global business network of select companies that delivers innovative enterprise solutions based on Oracle products.

Geosemble’s GeoXray™ geospatial data integration system brings Oracle users automatic integration of text from online and internal sources that are overlaid on satellite imagery and maps. This capability empowers organizations to leverage Internet data and their own databases to visualize news, trends, and information in a geographic context. Information is provided in visual context that creates understanding, thereby illuminating business opportunities and delivering better situational and security awareness for a given geographic area. The Oracle suite of geospatial technologies offers features that enhance GeoXray software’s efficiency and improves its accuracy.

“We are pleased to deliver GeoXray technologies and capabilities to the Oracle PartnerNetwork,” said Andre Doumitt, Geosemble CEO. “The GeoXray solution enables government agencies and commercial enterprises to filter news, blogs and tweets for a given geographic area – automatically. Instead of data overload, users have a manageable stream of accurate information that can be translated into opportunities for specific geographic areas. By working with Oracle technology, our system now offers improvements in accuracy, efficiency and flexibility.”

GeoXray technology enhancements enabled by Oracle include better compatibility with ESRI® and Google® platforms, the ability for users to collaboratively update points of interest, and automatically import their datasets and documents. In addition, Oracle enhances GeoXray’s method of linking documents to locations by more efficiently using geo-reasoning to increase the accuracy of the linked documents, articles and other textual content.

“Neogeographic” Approach to Inexpensive Oil Spill Mapping

The Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico was an opportunity for a small group of geospatial activists promoting crowd-sourced information to apply low-cost mapping techniques. By taking a neogeographic approach to aerial imaging with consumer-off-the-shelf hardware and software, open source GIS, and crowd-sourced field mapping techniques, they regularly produced maps of a variety of oil-affected sites without great cost. They collected data using balloons and kites and small digital cameras, and mapped and shared the information with local organizations. You’ll find the author’s approach well suited to crisis mapping.

Podcast: Do We Need Maps in our Location-based Apps?

A reader posed the question that we articulate this way: "Why are data taken for granted in LBS hype? What happens when you remove the map?" Our editors think that is a great question and explore it in the context of navigation apps, weather and traffic apps, social apps and augmented reality.

The Convergence of Web and Desktop GIS

Tile server technologies and new alliances work to blur the lines between Web and desktop applications, which PBBI's Jon Winslow believes is good news for everyone. "Now GIS professionals can continue to perform [their] advanced data-driven analysis while seamlessly presenting this information using visual tools that are familiar to the broader business community." Winslow backs up his optimistic point of view in this article.

Introduction to Road Data - Part One

In part one of this article, Steve Jones, independent GIS logistics consultant, focuses on the core map data used for routing, something more and more organizations are doing in-house. This installment covers road network accuracy, network connectivity and road speeds, hierarchical routing, and road classification.

Podcast: Are GIS Pros Choosing Esri Community Maps over OpenStreetMap?

This month's State of the Map US, an OpenStreetMap event in Atlanta, teamed with mappers, but not so many GIS professionals. A webinar on Esri's Community Maps program hosted by Directions drew 800+ "live" attendees just last week. Why are mappers and GIS pros choosing to give their data to one project or the other and what are the implications?

State of the Map U.S. Conference Report

Last weekend Atlanta, Georgia hosted the State of the Map US conference, which focused on OpenStreetMap in the 50 states. Learon Dalby, GIS program manager for the Arkansas Geographic Information Office (AGIO), attended and shared this report. Among his observations: “The participants were from across the U.S., but typical GIS users were not in the majority.”

How Will You Answer the GeoCloud Computing Call?

What if your IT manager walked into your office and let you know it was time to move your geospatial operation into the cloud? What would you do? Where would you start? Do you even know what questions to ask? Our editors assess the state of the geocloud and offer some advice on how to prepare for what may be that inevitable knock on the door.
