Re: Introductions

Hi,

Andrew Hallam, an independent software consultant based in Australia. 
I'm interested in how information can be collected and published in ways 
that makes it efficient to access. A significant proportion of my work 
involves geospatial data (presented as maps) which involves some 
interesting information access and information design issues. e.g. How 
do you show 90,000 point locations on a map that fits on your screen?

During a project last year I had the opportunity to build a simple 
faceted system for classifying web resources related to 
disaster/emergency management. You can view the prototype at:
http://maps.digitalearth.com.au/ausdin/index.jsp

I'm also interested in using faceted classification to manage all the 
user created files on my PC using a combination of automatically 
generated categories (e.g. content type, size, date) and manually 
created categories (e.g. client, purpose, etc). Version control would be 
nice as well. Anyone know of anything that works? Thanks.
