<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a title="wiki-tree by Web Worker Daily, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwd/2590982080/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2094/2590982080_a7ec5a1be6_m.jpg" alt="wiki-tree" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="98" height="240" align="left" /></a>As an active resident in Second Life as part of my Web work, I am fascinated by the exploration of virtual world environments as platforms for &#8220;wikitecture&#8221; which essentially is collaborative planning and design. The process is being tested by architects and urban planners, but for anyone building in 3-dimensional spaces, wikitecture could be the next wave of collaboration.</p>
<p>One of the companies exploring wikitecture is <a href="http://studiowikitecture.com/" target="_blank">Studio Wikitecture</a>, creator of an open-source, 3-D Wiki plug-in for Second Life in partnership with <a href="http://www.i3dnow.com/" target="_blank">i3dnow</a> that facilitates the creation of a &#8220;wiki-tree&#8221; to design objects such as building models.</p>
<p>In June, the company&#8217;s entry placed third in an international competition hosted by <a href="http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/challenge" target="_blank">Architecture for Humanity on the Open Architecture Network</a>. The company demonstrated their application by bringing together dozens of web workers from around the world to collaboratively design and build a 3-D model of a medical center in rural Nepal.</p>
<p><!--more--><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z3eWKIJxzyc" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3124/2591003298_cf359eb784_m.jpg" alt="wiki tree video" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="240" height="201" align="right" /></a>The wiki-tree functions like a 3-D rendered wiki so instead of seeing a line-by-line edit, you see each iteration of a 3-dimensional model but also &#8220;branches&#8221; and &#8220;leaves&#8221; representing the different versions and direction of the changes. Collaborators can build onto the existing model, vote on modifications, revert to a previous version, and contribute to the design process from anywhere in the world.</p>
<p>You can view <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z3eWKIJxzyc" target="_blank">a video that shows how the wiki-tree functions</a> within Second Life as well as <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=amCi90zH3VI" target="_blank">a time-lapse video</a> showing the design as it evolved</p>
<p>While Wikitecture for real-world design is an amazing advancement in collaborative architectural development, the process and tools seem well-suited for working with others to create builds for Web-based and online 3-D gaming and virtual world projects.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Al hilo del sentido comentario de <a href="http://texting.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/facebook-y-el-arbol-genealogico/#comment-121" target="_blank">Cristina</a> en un <a href="http://texting.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/facebook-y-el-arbol-genealogico/" target="_blank">post sobre grupos de Facebook</a>, y del post sobre <a href="http://texting.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/el-negocio-de-la-reputacion-online/" target="_blank">el negocio de la reputación online</a>, he decidido hablar tambien del negocio  en torno a <strong>las busquedas genealógicas en internet</strong>. Un sector que creo que tarde o temprano <strong>acabará convergiendo con el de la reputación online</strong>, puesto que <strong>ambos giran en torno a los apellidos.</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://texting.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/family_tree.jpg" alt="family_tree.jpg" width="275" height="369" align="right" />Antes de internet,  <em>¿alguien se acuerda de como era el mundo antes de internet?</em> para rastrear la huella de los antepasados habia que recurrir a <strong>archivos familiares</strong>, <strong>registros civiles</strong> o <strong>archivos eclesiasticos</strong>, y si esto no daba resultado, quedaba el recurso de buscar en <strong>archivos notariales</strong> o en <strong>archivos del estado</strong> (expedientes judiciales, archivos históricos, etc). O eso o contratar algún especialisa en heráldica y genealogía.</p>
<p>Internet ha mejorado las cosas, a parte de las muchisimas fuentes y servicios relacionados con la búsqueda genealogica (<a href="http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/" target="_blank">WVR</a>, <a href="http://www.elanillo.com/" target="_blank">Elanillo</a>, <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/" target="_blank">Familysearch</a>, <a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">Rootsweb</a> por citar algunos ejemplos con PR aceptable), ahora <strong>cualquiera puede publicar su arbol genealógico</strong>, lo que permite buscar las huellas de la familia entre la maraña de información volcada por cientos de miles de abnegados internautas con los que compartimos apellidos.</p>
<p>Que yo sepa, hay tres tipos de sitios donde se pueden introducir nombres de parientes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Los sitios de tipo <a href="http://www.wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki" target="_blank">wiki</a> (colaborativos), entre los que he se cuentan proyectos sorprendentes como <a href="http://wikitree.org/index.php?title=Main_Page" target="_blank">WikiTree</a>, <a href="http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">Werelate</a> o <a href="http://es.rodovid.org/wk/Portada" target="_blank">Rodovid</a>,</li>
<li>Los sitios que permiten construir el propio <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree" target="_blank">arbol genealogico</a> y que son, en realidad, <strong>otra forma de red social</strong>. Entre éstos destacan <a href="http://www.myheritage.com/" target="_blank">MyHeritage</a> (con recursos como reconocimiento facial para incrementar el <em>user generated content</em>), <a href="http://www.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">Ancestry</a> (sólo USA), <a href="http://www.genoom.com/" target="_blank">Genoom</a>,     <a href="http://www.miparentela.com/" target="_blank">Miparentela</a> (en fase beta) y <a href="http://www.genealogia.com/" target="_blank">Genealogia</a> (tambien beta).</li>
<li>Las sitios que utilizan la <strong>huella genetica</strong> del marcador Y-DNA para determinar el <strong><a href="http://www.dnaheritage.com/ysnptree.asp">Haplogroupo</a></strong> y rastrear parientes. Es el caso de <a href="http://www.ysearch.org/" target="_blank">Ysearch</a>, <a href="http://www.familytreedna.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">FamilyTreeDNA</a>,  <a href="http://www.igenea.com/" target="_blank">Ignea</a> o <a href="http://www.genebase.com/" target="_blank">Genebase Bionet Builder</a>. Estos sitios además explotan las caracteristicas virales de la red para construir el arbol y contribuyen al <a href="https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/atlas.html" target="_blank">Atlas del viaje del Hombre</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Lo siento <a href="http://texting.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/facebook-y-el-arbol-genealogico/#comment-121" target="_blank">Cristina</a>, no puedo ayudarte directamente. <strong>¿Alguien conoce otros recursos que puedan ayudar a rastrear parientes en Internet?</strong></p>
