  • Semantic Gap for users (bits, chars, lists -> events/objects, concepts)
  • Data and users: triangle
  • Semantic gap exists in text too - search engines do little beyond string matching
  • Semantic web tools help, much still to do
  • Life - events, experiences and multimedia: eventweb
  • Lots of multimedia - raises problems
  • Multimedia semantics: many approaches
  • Content-based: different model layers (data -> concepts)

Here are some things you can do with Gists in GistBox.
// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or tutorial) outside your specialty than you will from someone boring who’s working on exactly what you’re interested in. Don’t get i

Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses

Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses

This is an anchor-linked version of the excellent, amazing original opus magnum by Michael Tandy.

An address will start with, or at least include, a building number.

Counterexample: Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 9DD, United Kingdom.

When there is a building number, it will be all-numeric.

Counterexample: 1A Egmont Road, Middlesbrough, TS4 2HT
