On the Web, things are documents, and they are referred to by URIs, the most common form of which is the URL.
The real world is made up of real things. A fundamental property of physical objects is being located in physical space. And so, real things, are in real places, with real locations. We can refer to real things by their positions, i.e. their geodata!
Like the Web, we believe the best way to achieve that is by using a varied set of open protocols, allowing anyone and everyone not only to consume data—e.g. browsers for the web, google earth for geodata—but also to host the data—e.g. web servers.
The latter piece, the decentralization of geodata storage and dissemination is djiyo's mission.
Gargoyle POI Server v0.2 – Alpha
Stores schema-agnostic geodata accessible via REST interface into a variety of formats.
