hi all, As outlined at the face to face meet, I've been working on methods of getting coordinate information about the locations of Semantic web researchers and groups. I wrote to the www-rdf-interest list asking for data: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2003Apr/0252.html so we'll have to see how that pans out. Please do add yourselves if you've not already there (I just did a few as examples). There are some SVG demos, developed from ones by Jim Ley, displaying the information we have already, which I constructed as examples: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/200303/geo/intro.html#demos So, now we have to decide on the map which we will use to overlay the dots on. We want something that will highlight Europe, especially since on a world map, Europe is too small to really show up on provide the level of detail we require. At ILRT, Caroline Meek, Dan and I have had discussions with a designer, and he has pointed us at some examples, and we've narrowed it down to two that we rather like: http://www.cadmium.co.uk/thumbs/brand%20x/maps%20and%20globes/t_bxp_c31027.jpg.jpg which has the advantage of showing Europe as part of the world (we could get rid of the arm of the globe that is showing, and alter the colours); and http://www.cadmium.co.uk/thumbs/ds/maps%20and%20globes/t_11407324.jpg.jpg which would be technically simpler to do, but shows Europe in isolation (I do like the colour scheme though). Do people have a preference for one style over the other? Could you let us know today if possible? We need to specify the map as soon as possible in order to get postcards printed for www2003. thanks, Libby p.s. Here's a nice similar idea: http://www.asemantics.net/showcase/zoom.html
