It appears that the repository map mashup site is attracting plenty of blogging activity (always a good sign!).
- First up - the well-known Open Access News Blog by Peter Suber. The entry talks about the new OpenDOAR API and how this could be used to create mashups and goes on to say “The most exciting example to date is the mash-up of OpenDOAR and Google Maps from Repository66“. See the full blog post: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2007_03_18…
- Next up is Richard Jones’ blog post Repository 66 and the Google Map Adventure
- Another post comes from the EPrints team at Southampton University: http://trac.eprints.org/projects/iar/wiki/Export
- Charles W. Bailey, Jr. in his much-read DigitalKoans blog writes about the maps: Repository 66: OA Digital Repository Map Mashup
- David Prosser from SPARC Europe has written about the maps in the site’s “What’s New” section.
- The pintini blog has a French entry about the maps entitled Sur la routes des DI.
- A Japanese language blog points to the maps: http://b.hatena.ne.jp/entry/http://maps.repository66.org/
- Finally, plenty of traffic is coming via del.icio.us where it was first tagged by JISC’s Amber Thomas (thanks Amber!) and now by others. See: http://del.icio.us/url/a09… for details.
Just in case you wondered, the data was collected by Google’s Web Analytics system - another great service from Google!
