Tim O’Reilly in his seminal paper What is Web 2.0 ? attempted to identify the characteristics that distinguish Web 2.0.  One of the key aspects of Web 2.0 that Tim O’reilly identified  is participation.  Perhaps the best known example of this is Wikipedia, which is distinguished from other on-line encyclopedias by the fact that its content is provided by users.  Another example is open source itself.  Prior to the advent of Web 2.0, the web was primarily a publishing platform.  In Tim O’Reilly’s words Web 2.0 provides a platform for harnessing the collective intelligence.

One of the most serious challenges facing organizations responsible for managing network infrastructure, including water, waste water, power, gas, telecommunications, roads, and highways, is maintaining the productivity of the field force.  In the US a Conference Board  study Managing the Mature Workforce predicts that by 2010, the number of workers aged 35 to 44 will decline by 19%; the number of workers aged 45 to 54 will increase 21%; and the number of workers aged 55 to 64 will increase 52%.  This is a world-wide phenomenon.  The number of workers aged 35 to 44 is expected to decline by 27% in Germany, 19% in the U.K., 9% in Italy, 10% in Japan, and by 8% in China.  A recent study from the American Public Power Association (APPA) Work Force Planning for the Public Power Utilities: Ensuring Resources to Meet Projected Needs reports that the loss of critical knowledge and the inability to find replacements with utility-specific skills are the two biggest challenges facing the industry.  In the utility industry the average age of utility workers is close to 50 and by 2010, as many as 60 percent of today’s experienced utility workers will retire. A survey conducted in 2005 by the Carnegie Mellon University Electricity Industry Center found that human resources executives in the utility sector overwhelmingly listed the aging work force as their number one concern.

The challenge for organizations responsible for network infrastructure over the next few years is to transfer the knowledge about the network infrastructure currently resident in the heads of experienced (and soon to retire) field workers into the organization’s collective knowledge base, so that the collective intelligence can be harnessed by all workers, but most critically, younger workers, to improve productivity in the future.  Open source web mapping using Web 2.0 technologies will be a key technology to make this happen.

 +
 
 +
The internet is becoming the main tool to promote organizations, find users and create retention (making a user stay longer on the website and use it's service on a regular basis) on any place in the world. Internet marketing is a means in which to to find new users and contributers in a structured and mensurable way. Different from other kinds of marketing such as print. This kind of promotion allows the marketer to accurately measure marketing initiatives through logs generated by a web site's activity. Through this form of promotion, it is possible to:
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* Improve a web site's usability
 +
* Track where the main activities are being placed
 +
* Measure conversions
 +
* Track improvements made by marketing initiatives
 +
 
 +
'''Conventional Marketing Vs Internet Marketing'''
  
 +
In many occasions it is difficult to measure the accurate Return on Investment (ROI) conventional marketing initiatives provide. Printing material has an important role in marketing.

Web 2.0 and Open Source Geospatial in the Real World

Tim O’Reilly in his seminal paper What is Web 2.0 ? attempted to identify the characteristics that distinguish Web 2.0. One of the key aspects of Web 2.0 that Tim O’reilly identified is participation. Perhaps the best known example of this is Wikipedia, which is distinguished from other on-line encyclopedias by the fact that its content is provided by users. Another example is open source itself.

Intro


The internet is becoming the main tool to promote organizations, find users and create retention (making a user stay longer on the website and use it's service on a regular basis) on any place in the world. Internet marketing is a means in which to to find new users and contributers in a structured and mensurable way. Different from other kinds of marketing such as print. This kind of promotion allows the marketer to accurately measure marketing initiatives through logs generated by a web site's activity. Through this form of promotion, it is possible to:


  • Improve a web site's usability
  • Track where the main activities are being placed
  • Measure conversions
  • Track improvements made by marketing initiatives

Conventional Marketing Vs Internet Marketing

In many occasions it is difficult to measure the accurate Return on Investment (ROI) conventional marketing initiatives provide. Printing material has an important role in marketing.
