Nature gets mashed up

Nature (2006)Cite this article

Technology helps to map bird flu around the globe.

To demonstrate the potential of 'mashups', which weave together data from different sources (see 'Mashups mix data into global service' ), Nature has created a simple example - a global visualization of avian flu cases and outbreaks. To our knowledge, this is the only source where all of this information has been brought together. The mashup was first built in December 2005, and will be updated periodically (Download the mashup by clicking here . You will need Google Earth, which you can download here)
