[ome-devel] OME Google Maps

[Harry Hochheiser]

Very cool stuff.  Several months back, we had talked about applying  
some of the ideas in Google maps to building an OME dataset viewer.   
Reverse-engineering Google's implementation would take a bit of work,  
but it' shouldn't be intractable - especially given the amount of  
attention that's been paid to it. Josiah's shown that hooks back to  
OME are very doable.

A display like this combined with web-based versions of some of the  
hierarchical navigation and browsing tools that we've been developing  
could make for a snazzy OME interface.

That said, the keys questions would be the same: what are the key  
tasks for the microscopists, and how can interfaces best support  
those tasks...
