Global position indexing: Applications

Abstract

In this research paper, the problem of indexing physical locations across a planet (like time indexing based on dates/ months/years) is addressed and a solution is provided. Different countries around the world devised various geographical location specification codes (along with state/ province names, district names, city/ town/ village names etc.). But, to this day, there is no addressing scheme to specify various types of geographical locations such as hospitals, hotels etc. around the world. Apart from coarse grain localization of spatial locations using longitude, latitude (on the globe), and fine grain specification of spatial positions is an open research problem. In this research paper, we provide an interesting solution to this problem and its applications. This research paper is an effort in that direction to provide global position addressing. Various interesting applications of such local/global position indexing are provided. It is hoped that such indexing when linked with other addresses such as IPv6 addresses will be very useful.
