Hi! I ran into your diploma work "Location-based Mashups for Nokia Internet Tablets": http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=DIP-2579&mod=0&engl=0&inst=FAK
As your thesis did not discuss GeoClue or the GeoRSS2POI work we've done for Maemo Mapper, I thought to give you a heads-up on those... GeoClue is a generic position framework which abstracts various position sources like GPS, hostip and WiFi access point location. This gives application developers a much easier API to get an answer to the question of "Where am I?". In addition to coordinates, GeoClue also supports XEP-0080 -like civic location properties like street addresses. GeoClue moved forward quite a lot this summer through the maemo Summer of Code, and is now in incubation state in the GNOME Mobile and Embedded project. Some more information on GeoClue: http://www.slideshare.net/ajturner/geoclue-state-of-the-map-2007/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bergie/1183413084/ http://vilunki.wordpress.com/ Also some work has been done to bring GeoRSS data into Maemo Mapper. See: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/maemo_mapper-openstreetmap_and_wikipedia.html http://tigert.1g.fi/blog-files/guadec2007/georss2poi.pl Would be great to discuss some of the themes of your paper :-) /Henri -- Henri Bergius Motorcycle Adventures and Free Software http://bergie.iki.fi/ Skype: henribergius Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jaiku: http://bergie.jaiku.com/ _______________________________________________ GeoClue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/geoclue
