For an MapDot Category of 6 characters a MapDot is a slightly trapezoidal rectangle of approx 10.5 min longitude by 5 min latitude.

At MapDot#02C575-Melbourne the MapDot is approx 16 km by 10 km.

HOW MAPDOT PROTOCOL Converts Geographic Coordinates to a Sequence [Feel free to use or publish.]

MapDot_Protocol gives a "library-shelf" location for every MapDot on Planet Earth. These locations come first in the Flag-Cat-Key list of subjects of focus.

  • MapDot_Protocol follows The Sun through 8 zones East to West

  • Each zone is divided into 8 blocks South to North
    ( The dividers are: antarctic/arctic circles, 45 degree parallels, tropics, equator. The whole antarctic and arctic are appended as blocks to the "Early Day Zone" )

  • The blocks are divided into 16 by 16 and so on.. ad lib, in hexadecimal numeration.

  • The grid co-ordinates, as alphanumerics, are interlaced for sequence

MapDot size for category of 6 characters is a slightly trapezoidal rectangle of approx 10.5 min longitude by 5 min latitude. (At MapDot#02C575-Melbourne the MapDot is approx 16 km by 10 km; the MapDot for a category of 7 characters would be 1 km by 10 km.. for 8 char 1 km by 0.625 km and so on, ad lib) MapDot co-ordinates are at its S-E corner.
NOTE: Converting Longitude & Latitude co-ordinates to MapDot_Protocol can be done by hand or by spreadsheet etc. eg, Quatro Spreadsheet Geographic Coordinates to MapDot Protocol (59Kb download)
MapDot Applications: to index databases with a "geocode"; to select and sort; to list location-focused items in a "library-shelf" sequence; to flag a blog or personal Web-page with a rendezvous keyword in text and meta-tag...
Methods for finding adjacent MapDots can be devised. Concatenated region blocks can be selected using MapDot_Protocol. MapDot_Protocol is a find-select-n-sortable character-string, not a quantity; however, it is a classification system and "controlled vocabulary". It can be useful to attach a code from another "dimention" classification for especial chronological era, year or cultural aspect, eg, "MapDot#02C605-@w80-Glenrowan esp-1880"; "MapDot#1437F0-y22-Cebu esp-music".

F-C-K: Flagged-Categorized-Keyword: a Web Development (Summary)

  • There is a Flag-Category-Keyword for every MapDot (city or tourist-site).

  • Other Flag-Cat-Keyword divisions are H&Y (year in history) and J&S (job-skill or study-subject).

  • The Flag-Cat-Keyword consists of three parts: the Flag (e.g., MapDot); the Category (e.g., #02C605); the Keyword (e.g., Glenrowan). This example is for MapDot#02C605-Glenrowan.

  • It is good to attach a Cat from another division after the MapDot-Cat (e.g., MapDot#1437F0-y22-Cebu esp-music of.). This "-y22" denotes an especial cultural aspect. You can mix-and-match in other ways. It is useful to attach the year in history (e.g., MapDot#02C605-@w80-Glenrowan esp-1880).

  • The F-C-K/MapDot protocol locates subjects in "library-shelf" sequence and hierarchy . Thus a Find using the first character of the Category will match with related subject areas; then zoom in...

  • Do wave a F-C-K/Mapdot on your Web page as text or meta-keyword.. MapDot/F-C-K is also useful for databases and sorted lists (e.g., PenpalTourist Subject-Sorted Lists).
