- Dare Obasanjo: Without using appropriate XML Web Service tools, the Google API is more complex to program against than the Yahoo RSS search because one now has to deal with sending and receiving SOAP requests not just regular HTTP GETs. I claim that the Google service is just as easy to program against as the Yahoo service when calling the Google service without the aid of a SOAP toolkit. The two services return search result items as elements in an XML response body. The overall structure of the search result elements is identical for the two services. |

- Underwater archaeology has had a long, though sporadic, history, from the time Roman divers salvaged the cargo of amphoras from a shipwreck in the first century BC to the development of the modern aqualung by Cousteau and Gagnan in 1943. This wide-ranging and attractively produced website, available in French, English and Arabic, provides a illustrated introduction to the history, methods and major discoveries of underwater explorers, particularly those carried out by the research teams of DRASSM, the Départment des recherches archéologiques subaquatics et sous-marines of the French Ministry of Culture. The resource features: a historical chronicle of major developments in maritime archaeology particularly since the designs of Leonardo da Vinci followed by the practical attempts to construct artificial breathing apparatus in the 17th century; an outline of the principal methods of underwater prospection and excavation of wrecks together with notes about the conservation of submerged organic materials; |

- First developed as a result of wartime military photography during the First World War and later in the deserts of the Middle East during the 1920s, aerial archaeology has become a major tool for studying and reconstructing ancient landscape features, many of which are otherwise invisible from the ground. This attractively illustrated French-language website, one of the 'Great Archaeological Sites' published by the French Ministry of Culture, focuses on the theory, method and practice of aerial archaeology in the north-east of France based on work by archaeologist Roger Agache who pioneered the technique in the 1950s in the rural landscape of his native Picardy. The resource provides a wide-ranging introduction to the discipline of aerial reconnaissance from the choice of the appropriate technology (for example planes, helicopters, balloons and elevated cranes) to the optimal environmental conditions for identifying and photographing sub-soil features. A searchable database of aerial photographs is complemented by a useful synthesis of the history of the countryside revealed from aerial archaeology from the time of the first farmers in the 5th millennium BC to the development of the modern rural landscape. The biographic portrait of Roger Agache serves as a brief history of developments in aerial archaeology since WWII. |
