Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is the harnessing of tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographic data provided voluntarily by individuals. [1] [2] VGI is a special case of the larger phenomenon known as user-generated content, [3] and allows people to have a more active role in activities such as urban planning and mapping.
The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water: if its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks.
An example of a popular web API is the Astronomy Picture of the Day API operated by the American space agency NASA. It is a server-side API used to retrieve photographs of space or other images of interest to astronomers, and metadata about the images. According to the API documentation, [15] the API has one endpoint: https://api.nasa.gov ...
In July 2010, MapQuest announced [14] [15] plans to become the first major mapping site to embrace open-source mapping data, launching a new site [16] separate from its main site, entirely using data from the OpenStreetMap project. [17] On July 14, 2010, MapQuest launched a simplified user interface and made the site more compact.
Python 3.13 introduced an incremental garbage collector (producing shorter pauses for collection in programs with a lot of objects); an experimental JIT compiler; [67] and removals from the C API. Some standard library modules and many deprecated classes, functions and methods, will be removed in Python 3.15 and/or 3.16.
Note: OpenStreetMap is an open wiki that relies on the contributions of its editors for much of its cartography, even if some geographic data is based on other reliable sources. That means it is a self-published source and should not be used as a source in our articles.
Open source software that provide web map services capability include: . deegree; GeoServer; MapServer; MapGuide Open Source; QGIS Server; Proprietary server software that allow providing web map services include:
An API well number or API number is a "unique, permanent, numeric identifier" assigned to each well drilled for oil and gas in the United States. [1] The API number is one of many industry standards established by the American Petroleum Institute. Custody of the API Number standard was transferred in 2010 to the PPDM Association.
