【 摘 要 】

Today’s georeferencing approaches and Location-Based Services(LBS) are primarily closed, domain-specific applications. In this paper, weintroduce our vision of an ‘Open Spatial Repository’ as a first step towardsloosely coupled LBS. To illustrate this idea, we present a novel location-awareWeb browsing metaphor: according to a user’s location and her currentsurrounding, the ‘Real World Web Browser’ allows the visual discovery andaccess of georeferenced services and thereby enables new use cases beyondcommon tourist guides and static points-of-interest (POIs).
