AaronSw: By Philip Greenspun
AaronSw: Includes bit on Digital Watermarking
 
bijan: Digita scripts "can be used in the image processing back-end to automatically place pictures in designated albums or add audio captions, text or watermarks."
bijan: Note: The Kodak DC290, which is one slick camera and it runs this Digita thingy, has plummented in price. I've seen it as low as $450 with a 20 meg flash card.
bijan: There's a GPS system that goes with it.
bijan: It adds "the capability of having your digital picture automatically linked with data from the GPS unit, including longitude, latitude, the precise time and date of capture." Pretty wacky.
bijan: Ah! the Digita website. Not a Kodak only thing, then.
bijan: Interesting Script.
bijan: " This script captures GPS data from any Garmin GPS unit with "Text" output capability (Garmin III, III+, and others) via the camera's serial port.
bijan: ". The script can also write the data to an HTML file that uses the facilities of the Mapblast website to display your exact location on a detailed map.
bijan: I imagine it's but a small mod to write the data to rdf.
bijan: Ok, this is cool. The little cameras on the mapquest map tickle my fancy!
bijan: Alas, digita seems closed out the wazoo. The SDK comes in "standard" and "pro" versions, with the pro required for "commercial use".
 
danja: "it’s one technique among many that helps programmers produce better code faster"
danja: file under addressing schemes
 
 
dajobe: from U. Karlsruhe, Germany / Stanford
 
danja: building the
danja: Sementic Web ;-)
 
 
DanC: another transactional triple store with python interface
DanC: (another, meaning, besides postgresql, Zope DB)
 
AaronSw: esspecially in fifty words or less
DanC_moz: undocumended msgaccounts:/ in Mail and RDF
DanC_moz: er.. unregistered, that is.
 
 
AaronSw: Includes use cases, links, etc.
 
DanC_moz: take a look at the schema in RDF/n3; ugly, but works
 
DanC_moz: actually, I'm just testing to see how chatzilla groks URIs
