I have begun a new job at
UNAVCO, which focuses on the access and dissemination of
GPS data archive data. The application, Data Archive Interface (
DAIv2) provides access to the GPS Archive. The application leverages Web 2.0 techniques, such as fluid interaction affordances and mashups (embedded Google Maps). We are now considering what it would mean for introduce a social (or "user as producer") dimension to that application. As the domain is still very new to me, this will require much more learning on my part.
There is some interest within this particular scientific community as is evidence in this recent event announcement to the community's major annual event.
