The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction. (the law of simplicity by John Maeden)

Does this look familiar to you while working with your company (GIS) applications? Can we focus more on usability for GIS applications? Simplicity is also possible for GIS.

Spatial applications arise from a strong tradition of of the importance of spatial information and techniques to represent our place or other phenomena in our world. Maps are the basic concept to achive this.

Maps are informative.

Maps are directive.

Maps are aesthetic.

Maps are a lot of things.

Maps are changing

In the era of the internet and new Web 2.0 techniques the question arise how much is the unterstanding about spatial information changing? What’s new in mapping? Is it a little or a lot? It think it is a lot and a little.

Hockenberry has a great presentation on this entitled with Design of Spatial Applications.

Neues Design der Homepage wird gerade aufgebaut. Die Header ändern sich und sind nun animiert. Weiters wird auf der Startseite ein Zufallsbild angezeigt. Jede Woche ist auch ein neues Zitat am Ende der Startseite zu lesen. Ich hoffe dieses Jahr die Rubrik Reisen auf einen aktuellen Stand zu bringen und eine Zusammenfassung meiner Pojektarbeit zu veröffentlichen. Posted by Picasa
