So far, I’ve completed about 90% of a screen scraper for Tower Hamlets, which uses a system called Planning Online for publishing planning applications. That system is widely used, so Camden, the New Forest, and dozens of other planning bodies aren’t far behind. I’d also like to see GeoRSS available along side email.

Smith Wed, 22 Nov 2006 13:35:55 +0000 http://brainoff.com/weblog/2006/11/21/1207#comment-1406 What an excellent obsession. I've been wondering how to reach land and building owners with the idea of opening their copious data to the public, or at least for post-construction residents' use. Perhaps it makes sense that a small part of my apartment rent would pay for upkeep of a digital model of my building and its systems, for use in personal location sensing as well as in maintenance of the plumbing and electrical systems. I wonder if savings from not cutting lines by digging or drilling in the wrong place would (on average) cover the cost of maintaining such a model? What an excellent obsession.
