The geo-internet and how we may use it

ABSTRACT

It is becoming increasingly apparent that geographically indexed information has value. Associating information of all kinds with geographic location allows for the correlation and synthesis of information that would otherwise be incommensurate. The value shows up in scientific circles, social networking applications, commercial settings, command and control systems and a wide range of other uses. The incorporation of a large number of devices on the Internet contributes to this trend. These values will also be realized in space exploration applications and this talk will finish with a brief summary of the state of the art of space networking.
