Sent to you by Hugo via Google Reader: Devolia Geo: Open Source Geolocation for Remote Procedure Call (RPC) via Slashgeo by Satri on 1/20/10 A friend sent me a link to the open source project Devolia Geo, a RPC service providing geolocation. RPC stands for remote procedure call which is "[...] an Inter-process communication technology that allows a computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in another address space (commonly on another computer on a shared network) without the programmer explicitly coding the details for this remote interaction." From the Deviola site: "Devolia Geo is a RPC (Remote Procedure Call) service providing geolocation (i.e. the service returns the closest city and country names from latitude and longitude)." That said, the same page in French provides some more information, including the capability to tie Devolia with Google Maps or smartphones such as an iPhone. Read more of this story at Slashgeo.
