<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend's plaything is <a href="http://www.scribd.com/">Scribd, </a>a document sharing website. If you have a PDF, <a class="zem_slink" title="Microsoft Word" rel="homepage" href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/word2008/default.mspx" target="_blank">Word</a> doc, spreadsheet, powerpoint, image or <a class="zem_slink" title="OpenOffice.org" rel="homepage" href="http://www.openoffice.org/" target="_blank">open office</a> doc - for example, annual reports, raw material, etc. - this is a good place to put it to make it both interactive and conversational.</p>
<p>A quick <a href="http://www.scribd.com/tags">look at the tag cloud</a> reveals some useful sources too, including the environmental protection agency, <a class="zem_slink" title="NASA" rel="homepage" href="http://www.nasa.gov/" target="_blank">NASA</a>, food and drug agency and so on (it is currently, as you'd expect, very US dominated).<!--more--></p>
<p>Here's some of the features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Post comments on documents</li>
<li>Email to someone, or embed on your own webpage/blog</li>
<li>Add to a group</li>
<li>See traffic analytics</li>
<li>Engage in communities</li>
<li>RSS feeds</li>
</ul>
<p>The tagging and other description features also make this potentially useful for file management - a delicious for PDFs?</p>
<p>The ability to create groups has potential for crowdsourcing - <a href="http://www.scribd.com/groups/view/1007-los-angeles-metro-transit">see this LA Metro Transit group</a> for an example.</p>
<p>But in general this is just a better alternative to simply posting a link to a PDF on your website.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conflation is more than matching features from different spatial sources.  A good spatial-matching technology that includes conflation as a parameter should also be defined by location, the shapes attributes, and its relationships to other objects. </p>
<p>A good example of this is when two or more road networks have conflicting views - how do you proceed, if you end up only wanting to display one of the sources? </p>
<p>What geometrical matching techniques or advice do you have on this topic?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are two data variables that require some special attention or you just might "age" your customers too soon, too late, or not at all. </p>
<p>Exact age is a data variable and is typically stored as a whole number representing a customer's age.  In this form it is a very powerful (and predictive) data variable and is used as one of the more commonly used variables to discriminate responders from non-responders. </p>
<p>Exact age in this case can't be broken down into any smaller data elements.  Okay, so know you understand the difference, but is this good enough given how you plan to use this data variable for target marketing purposes.</p>
<p>Exact age does have some limitations.  What about maintaining this particular variable in your customer data warehouse.  If left alone in its current format it (exact age) becomes an operational nightmare.  A more common and efficient way is creating a second data variable named (date of birth), and include three data elements month, day, and year of birth.</p>
<p>Remember, some data variables may have specific data elements within them - such as a phone number, street address, zip code, etc.  The more you examine each of the data variables in your database - you will begin to uncover all the potential options. </p>
