[OPEN-ILS-DEV] GeoRSS sample

[Duimovich, George]

Will follow up with more details later with contrib files, but today just happened to be a good day to see our GeoRSS functionality working in Evergreen (since not all our bib records get coded with MARC 034):

What you're seeing is the "footprint" of recently added maps plotted as a bounding box on Google Maps.  Footprint data is being parsed / transformed from MARC 034 data: http://tinyurl.com/4kc5crw. Most catalogue 034 the "traditional way" so the xsl checks and converts (if necessary) to more machine readable coordinates required by map clients/servers.

The link back to record details is using 901|c -- but in the 1.6.x series, the 901 is not automatically generated for new records (but will be in version 2.0). The above link is pointing to recently added records. So what will happen in version 2.0 is the popup descriptions will have title's linked to the respective record detail page, setting the stage for futher mashup-o-ronies. All those years of cataloguing 034 and now we're finally able to do something with the data!

More thoughts on this later for where we'd like to see this go, etc.
