have a huge government sponsored countrywide initiative titled "u-City". I
have slides if anyone is interested. Anyway, within the u-City context there
is a sub-project titled "Spatial Awareness". A key focus of this activity is
how people navigate outdoors, indoors, and the combination of the two.
Related to this particular issue, they have been working on how to best
perform (from a computer perspective) spatial transformations among and
between the many ways of defining a location so that applications can
actually provide seamless navigation and routing in any spatial reference
context. This work has resulted in a number of draft standards documents
that have been submitted into ISO TC 211 for consideration as International
Standards. I am a nominated expert representing the OGC community for these
activities. Their approach even works aboard a cruise ship!

Carl
