One of recent trends in Web-based GIS is the system development using FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). Open Source software is independent from the technologies of commercial software and can increase the reusability and extensibility of existing systems. In this study, we developed a Web-based GIS for interactive visualization of geographic information using Google Earth and spatial DBMS(database management system). Google Earth Plug-in and Google Earth API(application programming interface) were used to embed a geo-browser in the Web browser. In order to integrate the Google Earth with a spatial DBMS, we implemented a KML(Keyhole Markup Language) generator for transmitting server-side data according to user's query and converting the data to a variety of KML for geovisualization on the Web. Our prototype system was tested using time-series of LAI(leaf area index), forest map, and crop yield statistics. The demonstration included the geovisualization of raster and vector data in the form of an animated map and a 3-D choropleth map. We anticipate our KML generator and system framework will be extended to a more comprehensive geospatial analysis system on the Web.

This paper proposes 3D visualization systems for the real-time situation awareness and a state information of the aircraft. This system was embodied with OpenGL and the Google Earth of web base using situation data of the aircraft. The existing system has problem which speed decrease and visible restricted map because massive data of terrain and satellite photo. This system is supports the visualization tool which is economic and entire area for a real-time situation awareness with minimum flight information using Open-API of the Google Earth. Also provides a visible convenience to expansion-view using multiple location information. This research result could be used to system for the situation awareness of the aircraft from web environment.

The purpose of this research is to explore the possibility of geographic education by implementing the map-based geographic education site which mashed up with Google earth by referring the various materials of geographic education which exist in on-line and off-line. In recent years map-based geographic education is required by the radical change of geoweb environments, but there have been few researches in this field. This research is folded up as follows: First, we designed the contents through the textbook analysis and then collect various data related to the contents such as pictures, video clips, conceptual map, etc. which are required to explain the concept. Second, we mashed up the collected data on the Google earth by using the Google's open API. Third, we implemented the geographic education website based on the classification of contents in textbook and the various collected data. This research is important in both that it explores the possibility of the map-based education rather than the text-based education in the geographic field which handles mainly the space and finds the best method to express the various concepts of the textbook on the geoweb environments.

본 연구의 목적은 온라인과 오프라인 공간에 다양하게 존재하는 지리 관련 학습 자료를 매쉬업하여 지리교육사이트를 구현해 봄으로써 지도를 기반으로 한 지리교육용 웹 사이트 구축 가능성을 모색하는 데 있다. 그동안 교육 분야에서 API를 활용한 대부분의 연구가 사이트 구현을 제안하는 단계에 머무르고 있었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 교과서 분석을 통하여 지리교육과 관련된 사진, 영상, 개념도, 모식도 등 다양한 자료를 매쉬업해 봄으로써, 정보 제공 방식의 변화를 추구하고, 직접 구현하여 API를 활용한 지리교육사이트의 구현 가능성을 제시한 것에 의의가 있다.

Content used in mashups is typically obtained from a third party source through a public interface or API (web services). Other methods of obtaining content for mashups include Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom), and screen scraping. A mashup or meshup Web application has two parts: A new service delivered through a Web page, using its own data and data from other sources. The blended data, made available across the Web through an API or other protocols such as HlTP, RSS, REST, etc. There are many types of mashups, such as consumer mashups, data mashups, and Business Mashups. The most common mashup is the consumer mashup, which are aimed at the general public. Examples include Google Maps, iGuide, and RadioClouds. 4D Wall-map display is data mashups combine similar types of media and information from multiple sources into a single representation. This technology focus data into a single presentation and allow for collaborative action among ITS-related information sources.

구글 어스(Google Earth)란 도구는 인공위성에서 찍은 사진들을 바탕을 3차원 지구 타원체에 바탕에 입힌 도구이다. 이 도구는 3차원 공간에서 OpenAPI등을 이용하여 3차원객체를 지구 타원체상에 구현 할 수 있다. 이러한 점들 때문에 많은 사람들이 주요 건축물을 구현하거나 실외 이동객체(자동차, 비행기 등)를 구현하여 더욱더 지구와 가까운 모형으로 구현을 해 왔다. 하지만 공간 정보란 것은 실외 공간정보만이 아닌 건물의 내부 구조나 쇼핑몰상의 유동 인구의 움직임등과 같은 정보도 존재한다. 이 연구는 구글 어스 상에서 내부 구조를 가진 건물을 구축하고 이곳을 탐색할 수 있게 해 주며 또한 실내 이동 객체들의 실시간 움직임을 구현한다.

This paper presents implementation of a system for effective visualizing flight information of aircraft using Google Earth. This system in order to use a detailed satellite image which provide from Google Earth used COM API. This system appeared the various flight information of the aircraft in the instrument panel using OpenGL and the aircraft flight condition is visible in the Google Earth Map. This research result used to flight evaluation and improvement. In future will be able to apply to flight software development.

Currently, SEAMCAT has been widely used as a tool to evaluate the effects of interference among wireless communication systems. In the previous work, we have incorporated the ITU-R P.526 pathloss model to the existing SEAMCAT in order to support the capability of interference evaluation taking into account any specific terrain characteristics. Along with this, we have implemented a terrain display function based on the Google map. However, the two-dimensional Google map based display is not effective in helping users to figure out some terrain features including the elevation variation in a given region. In order to alleviate this difficulty, we have incorporated the three-dimensional terrain display using the API of the Google earth to the existing SEAMCAT and provided the capability of viewing the positions of the associated communication systems, the variation of the carrier intensity and interference intensity in location, shadow region indication, and line-of-sight analysis and presented an example of interference evaluation.
