Building the Digital Earth 28 March 2006
A common ‘fixed earth grid’ model, in which any spatial data can be stored or sampled, is very similar to the grid models scientists use for sampling biodiversity in forest plots or other areas, says Perry Peterson, President of Pyxis Innovation. This is the digital solution for sampling, retrieving, and most importantly integrating vast amounts of biodiversity data and information – rather than often out-of-date paper maps which cannot be reconciled with existing or new data without the assistance of a highly paid GIS professional. Digital Earth brings power to the practitioner. It is about putting data ‘discoverability’ and integration power directly into the hands of the practitioner, scientist, or decision maker. It’s Google Earth you build and direct yourself. For more information visit:
