[georss] Java location extensions?

[Carl Reed OGC Account]

There is also a move in the Emergency Services world to use RSS (extended with multicast). I am sending an email to the folks moving the EM RSS concept forward to let them know about GeoRSS and its applicability to alerts/messaging in the EM world.

  Here's another forking path to follow in pursuit of an interoperable geoweb. I wonder what the best way is to engage a GeoRSS discussion with this new Java Expert Group? [ http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=293 ]

  According to Cafe Au lait News, April 16,

  http://www.ibiblio.org/javafaq/oldnews/news2006April13.html

  "  Nokia has submitted JSR-293, Location API 2.0  to the Java Community Process (JCP). According to the JSR,  ...

      1.. 
        a.. Add the ability to import and export landmarks with JavaTM application. JSR 179 only provides a mechanism to add and modify landmarks on the device, but with this addition, the landmarks and points of interest can be shared for example between two devices. 
        b.. Clarify and extend the localization support for the landmarks 
        c.. Specify a set of abstract landmark UI components for adding, editing and selecting landmarks. These components will be independent of the device manufacturer and will allow the user to have similar user experience on landmark handling across different devices and API implementations. 
      2.. Support for geocoding 
      Geocoding means assigning location coordinates for a landmark based on the given address. In reverse geocoding the address of a landmark is retrieved based on the given location coordinates. This API will have support for both of these geocoding features. 

      3.. Map support 
      This feature will allow the use of maps in JavaTM applications. With this map support the applications are able to display maps and show landmarks and points of interest on these maps. 

      4.. Navigation support 
      Navigation support will enable the navigation to landmarks and points of interest from JavaTM application. With this feature the applications will be able to access the navigation features provided by 3rd party applications.

    Some of these new extensions might be optional and not required from devices implementing only the basic positioning functions. "
