ROAR Google Earth Tours


I've added KML support to ROAR, which enables repository locations to be overlayed on Google Earth. Not all ROAR repositories are Geo-located and many are very roughly located.
To add the ROAR overlay (in Google Earth) click the Add menu, Network Link and enter the following URL:
http://roar.eprints.org/?action=kml&type=institutional&order=recordcount&kml=markerOr, to get coloured boxes:
http://roar.eprints.org/?action=kml&type=institutional&order=recordcount&kml=heightAll repositories (not just institutional):
http://roar.eprints.org/?action=kml&order=recordcount&kml=heightetc. Have fun!

The distance in metres from the datum to the top of the box (or screenshot) is the number of OAI records in that repository. So it's a kind-of geo-spaced 3d graph.
Oh, and it's "overlaid" in case any pedantics are out there :-)
