First experiences with GeoCouch by tbuchwaldt.
From the post:
To learn some new stuff about cool databases and geo-aware services we started fiddling with GeoCouch, a CouchDB extension. To have a real scenario we could work on, we designed a small project: A CouchDB database contains documents with descriptions of fastfood restaurants. We agreed on 3 types of restaurants: KFC, Mc Donalds & Burgerking. We gave them some additonal information, namely opening and closing times and a boolean called “supersize”.
It sounds to me like this sort of service, coupled with a topic map of campus locations/services, could prove to be very amusing during “rush” week when directions and locations are not well known.
