Now guess who we're working for/with - and who these toys are intended for

Actually some of the aireal photography is more scary; as is SAR, synthetic
aperture radar; which though harder to interpret, has a lot more
information; including the more interesting type about surface roughness,
temperature, small depressions, wakes/turbulence in the air, etc.

Yes - it gives this 'semantic' web a whole new... sort of semantics I
guess. But it is fun, a tremendous amount of fun. Especially when you
combine several sources; some of which are not pixel maps, but more of the
'feature' meta data from inside the picture. And with things like

        http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf?request=GetCapabilities

which will yield an XML file of what data is available; computers are
increasingly able to navigate that space meaning full.
