Wiki Mapping
Wiki Mapping
The Google Maps API and the KML mapping file format has opened up new ways of manipulating data geographically. The application of geocoding to wikis and other publicly modifiable information banks like Wikipedia open up new avenues of visualizing the world. Recent examples include the new Wikipedia links in Google Maps, which displays links to wikipedia articles in their geographic location. Continuing the tradition of the Wiki, users will be able to contribute their own geographic locations and corresponding articles. This space will be dedicated to examining emerging mashup “Wiki mapping” applications and their potential uses in education.
