Semantic Mediawiki GPS Extension

My project concept has finally been scoped appropriately. I think scoping is the hardest part of this whole endeavor!

Here is the basic concept:

The semantic mediawiki GPS extension enables a user to connect a Garmin GPS device via USB and easily upload GPS tracks as well as associate these tracks to individual log entries via a unique trail identifier. It will later also provide additional GPS track services.

Functional capabilities are:

• Upload Garmin GPS tracks via USB using the Garmin Communicator Plugin
• Store GPS tracks to a database
• Semantically tag track with handler, K9, and trail identifiers
• Enable user to manipulate and tag multiple tracks in a single session
• Provide for map preview of tracks
• Enable the user to easily associate one or more GPS tracks with individual log entries
• Automatically generate a trail (tracklayer or subject) log

It would be nice to say that I’d have this as a turnkey installable mediawiki extension by the end of the semester, but I really doubt it. Time is short!
