On why the "Tile Map Service Specification" is not a standard...
I was in SanFran and did not go to Java One - what could possibly be so important?
Where 2.0 was really about one thing and one thing only - making lots
of money from maps.
There are three significant things going on:
#1 Google released an AJAX API
#2 Where 2.0 is the Question? Address is the answer
#3 The preception of how much data should cost is going down
How does this relate to Java? Well I am involved in the top three open source Java GIS Projects.
