GeoTagging Foot Prints.
Posted by Mohamed Bishr on March 18, 2007
Geo-tagging is already part of mainstream tagging. I have been thinking of implementing something that resembles regions that are derived from geotags. Simply one can use a foot print algorithm to create regions out of points. The points in this case are the geotags. And the resulting regions can be returned when the geotags are queried. The benefit is that those regions will have all the relevant tags enclosed and one can difrectly see on a map how people are tagging a certain area. You are easily able with such mapped tag foot prints/regions to figure out for example that a certain region of down town Paris has so many restaurants or pubs. This would be useful don’t you think?. Moreover people can start to tag the resulting regions and make them even more well defined.
