			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most interesting things about OSM is the fact that it allows you to &#8220;map the reality&#8221;, map the ground-truth, not what the State-run maps tells you it&#8217;s there, but what is actually there.</p>
<p>Recently, on 10. January, an illegal horse racing, in a sort of clandestine racetrack was blocked by the military police in Pachino, Syracuse (Sicily, Italy). The blitz has, so far, allowed to identify more than 20 horse owners, jockeys and 3 veterinarians. The land placed in the open countryside, less than 2km from the sea, where the race was stopped, was a clandestine race-course, complete with boxes for the horses.</p>
<p>Just after discovering the news, I went hunting for that track on aerial images. We have been lucky enough to have been granted access to some 25cm resolution images, these images were made by the <a href="http://88.53.214.52/content/view/95/112/">Regione Sicilia</a>, after some more research I ended up discovering that the racetrack is located in <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/631172271">Contrada Granelli</a>, and not nearby the inhabited part of the Pachino town, so in the end, I was able to find it on the map, and tag it accordingly.</p>
<p>&lt;way id=&#8221;49641876&#8243;&gt;<br />
&lt;tag k=&#8221;clandestine&#8221; v=&#8221;yes&#8221;/&gt;<br />
&lt;tag k=&#8221;leisure&#8221; v=&#8221;track&#8221;/&gt;<br />
&lt;tag k=&#8221;name&#8221; v=&#8221;Granelli&#8221;/&gt;<br />
&lt;tag k=&#8221;sport&#8221; v=&#8221;horse_racing&#8221;/&gt;<br />
&lt;/way&gt;</p>
<p>Here is the result:  <style type="text/css">#map_1 {padding: 0; margin: 0;}#map_1 img{padding: 0; margin: 0;border:none;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}</style><div id="map_1" style="width:600px; height:450px; overflow:hidden;padding:0px;"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.openstreetmap.org/openlayers/OpenStreetMap.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">/* <![CDATA[ */(function($) { map = new OpenLayers.Map ("map_1", {            controls:[              new OpenLayers.Control.Navigation(),              new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoom(),              new OpenLayers.Control.Attribution()              ],          maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-20037508.34,-20037508.34,20037508.34,20037508.34),          maxResolution: 156543.0399,          numZoomLevels: 19,          units: "m",          projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),           displayProjection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")      } );var layerMapnik = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM.Mapnik("Mapnik");var layerTah    = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM.Osmarender("Osmarender");var layerCycle  = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM.CycleMap("CycleMap");map.addLayers([layerMapnik, layerTah, layerCycle]);map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());    function osm_getTileURL(bounds) {        var res = this.map.getResolution();        var x = Math.round((bounds.left - this.maxExtent.left) / (res * this.tileSize.w));        var y = Math.round((this.maxExtent.top - bounds.top) / (res * this.tileSize.h));        var z = this.map.getZoom();        var limit = Math.pow(2, z);        if (y < 0 || y >= limit) {            return OpenLayers.Util.getImagesLocation() + "404.png";        } else {            x = ((x % limit) + limit) % limit;            return this.url + z + "/" + x + "/" + y + "." + this.type;        }    }var lonLat = new OpenLayers.LonLat(15.021,36.707).transform(map.displayProjection,  map.projection);map.setCenter (lonLat,15);var markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Marker" );map.addLayer(markers);var data = {};data.icon = new OpenLayers.Icon("http://cortesi.com/wp-content/plugins/osm/icons/wpttemp-yellow.png",     new OpenLayers.Size(24,24),     new OpenLayers.Pixel(0, -24));var ll = new OpenLayers.LonLat(15.024,36.708).transform(map.displayProjection,  map.projection);     var feature = new OpenLayers.Feature(markers, ll, data);feature.closeBox = true;feature.popupClass = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud, {minSize: new OpenLayers.Size(150,150) } );feature.data.popupContentHTML = "";feature.data.overflow = "hidden";var marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(ll,data.icon.clone());marker.feature = feature;var markerClick = function(evt) {  if (this.popup == null) {    this.popup = this.createPopup(this.closeBox);    map.addPopup(this.popup);    this.popup.show();  }   else {    this.popup.toggle();  }  OpenLayers.Event.stop(evt);};marker.events.register("mousedown", feature, markerClick);markers.addMarker(marker);map.addPopup(feature.createPopup(feature.closeBox));})(jQuery)/* ]]&gt; */ </script></div></p>
<p>Surely this is not as important as what my friend <a href="http://brainoff.com/weblog/">Mikel</a> is doing in <a href="http://mapkibera.org/">Kibera</a>, but still a declaration of indipendence from the canonical mapmakers.</p>

<p>Alle elementari avevo un maestro che insegnava geografia e che tirava giù una carta geografica del mondo davanti alla lavagna. Avevo un compagno di classe al sesto anno che un giorno ha alzato la mano e ha indicato la costa orientale del Sudamerica; poi ha indicato la costa occidentale dell&#8217;Africa e ha chiesto: «Sono state mai unite?». E il maestro ha risposto: «Certo che no, è una cosa ridicola!». Lo studente cominciò a fare uso di droghe e sparì. L&#8217;insegnante è diventato consigliere scientifico dell&#8217;attuale amministrazione (ndr Bush). (dal film documentario statunitense del 2006 &#8220;Una scomoda verità&#8221;,  diretto da Davis Guggenheim).</p>
<p>Nella mia geografia ancora sta scritto che tra Catanzaro e il mare si trovano i Giardini delle Esperidi. (George Robert Gissing, da Sulle rive dello Jonio).</p>
<p>L&#8217;arma del giornalista è la penna o la macchina da scrivere. L&#8217;arma del giornalista sotto vetro smerigliato è la bacchetta o la carta geografica. (Sergio Saviane).</p>
<p>Lungo la costa dell&#8217;Africa del Sud-Ovest, delimitato da montagne di origine vulcanica da una parte e dall&#8217;Atlantico dall&#8217;altra, si stende uno dei più antichi e selvaggi deserti della terra. I geografi chiamano questa zona la Costa degli Scheletri, perché le sue spiagge sono disseminate dei relitti delle navi che vi hanno fatto naufragi. (Ronald Schiller da &#8220;Nel mondo dei diamanti&#8221;).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a poster I&#8217;m working on for the <a href="http://http://www.gi4dm-2010.org/haiti.php">Geomatics for Crisis Management</a> conference, I did run some simple stats on the Haiti Planet extracts. After the recent Earthquake, and after the donation of free/libre aerial imagery there has been an increase in user contributions.</p>
<p>These are the total number of users in the Haiti planet extract as of today (the 29th), and dating back to the 14th. For comparison purpose I&#8217;ve added the data for 30th dec 2009. It can clearly be seen that the biggest spike was on 16th, reason being on the 15th the first high quality images were made available for retracing. Then, same thing, same reason, on the 22nd.</p>
<p>first column: date of the extract<br />
second: unique users contributing to the Haiti map<br />
third: Megabytes of the uncompressed extract file (useful for gathering a rough idea of &#8220;detail&#8221;)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La mancanza di mappe aggiornate alla reale situazione post-terremoto rischiava di compromettere le attività di salvataggio.</p>
<p>Dopo il terremoto ad Haiti la macchina internazionale degli aiuti si è immediatamente messa in moto, questa volta, una importantissima azione è stata svolta dai volontari <a href="http://osm.org">openstreetmap</a>.</p>
<p>Poche ore dopo sono state rese disponibili foto aeree delle zone colpite, i nostri volontari si sono, indipendentemente, messi all&#8217;opera e hanno iniziato a inserire dati nel nostro database, questo ha portato, nel giro di poche ore, alla generazione di mappe aggiornate dell&#8217;isola, con indicate tutte le strade ancora percorribili, le posizioni dei campi profughi, ponti inagibili, il neo costruito aeroporto.</p>
<p>Le mappe vengono continuamente aggiornate e sono rese immediatamente disponibili per qualsiasi uso, commerciale, o umanitario. Esse sono scaricabili sui navigatori portatili e usate sui cellulari dotati di GPS.</p>
<p>E&#8217; uno straordinario esempio di come un approccio partecipato può funzionare anche in questi drammatici casi.</p>
<p>Un esempio di <a href="http://haiti.openstreetmap.nl/?zoom=14&amp;lat=18.55545&amp;lon=-72.32512&amp;layers=B00FFFFFFFFF">mappa che mostra gli accampamenti spontanei</a>.</p>
<p>Due immagini che mostrano il progresso: la prima è Port au Prince adesso, la seconda, prima del terremoto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An interesting article on finding geo data (<a href="ttp://osm.org">OpenStreetMap</a>) using common-use search software as <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/">SOLR</a> a java frontend to <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/">Lucene</a>. Apache Lucene is a Java™-based, high performance search library. Apache Solr is a search server that uses Lucene to provide search, faceting, and many more capabilities over HTTP. Both are licensed under the commercial-friendly Apache Software License. Both Lucene and Solr also offer the ability to restrict the space being searched by applying one or more filters, which are key to spatial search. <em>Range queries</em> and <em>range filters</em> are among the essential mechanisms for restricting the space.</p>
