The former editor
of jlocationservices.com, Harry Niedzwiadek, has stated that: "LBS
is forming at the nexus of the Internet, wireless and geospatial
technology realms". In this section, we explain how, when integrated,
these technologies combine to enable the LBS market. Perhaps least
understood of these is geospatial technology. Yet, geospatial content
and services comprise the lion's share of the value pie when it comes
to LBS.
We begin with a discussion of location
services and location application services -- aka LBS --and
the value they bring to consumers, business and government.
Second,
we look into what's
happening in the geospatial marketplace --
an analysis of the trends we believe are now shaping the markets
for geospatial technology with particular focus on the value
of ubiquitious geospatial information and processing services viz-a-viz
the Web.
We
also check out what's
happening on the broader information technology front.
Here, we review trends in the Information Technology industry as
a whole, focusing on the emergence of the global network infrastructure,
personal appliances, software components, open-standards, and,
of course, Java.
Next,
we explain how Java is REAL good for the location services industry.
We describe how Java (the language, platform and Jini)
addresses key needs in the market and how
Java provides tremendous growth opportunities for the location
services industry.
We
then describe the GeoJava
Internet Computing Model -- our vision
of a spatially-enabled global network infrastructure in which Java
is a key enabling technology.
We
conclude with an interesting
article by Dr. Yaser Bishr that outlines the combined scope
of the OpenLS Initiative and the Location Interoperability Forum,
which are establishing foundational standards for LBS development.This
is a must read!
