Mapufacture is part of a demonstration for GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) in visualizing geospatial data from environmental fire sensors via GeoBliki that threaten powerlines in South Africa. Fire threat and detection feeds are combined with powerline infrastructure data to create a map and aggregated dataset using Mapufacture. There is a demo video that illustrates the process that will be used at GEO plenaries in Washington DC and South Africa.

GeoBliki is an open-source sensor-web software that handles intercommunication with satellite infrastructure for accessing and tasking satellites. It uses open geodata standards like GeoRSS that enable other software, like Mapufacture, to easily access and share its data. From Mapufacture you can then get the aggregated feeds in GeoRSS and KML, or as an embeddable map that you could put into a website.
