PROJECT:
Infrastructure to connect geography (the "physical world") with the Internet (the "virtual world").
DESCRIPTION:
Location Linked Information (LLI) is a project that attempts to merge virtual spaces and communities, such as those that reside on the Internet and in traditional databases, with the physical world, the world of atoms.
LLI uses geography, measured in degrees latitude and longitude as the primary key linking the two realms.
FEATURES:
 |
An infrastructure built on Jabber based XML Streams.
|
|
Allows massively distributed data storage and aggregation.
|
|
Current applications use this technology to link animal (whale, seal) tracking databases together.
