The Location Group

The purpose of the SIG is to promote and further the adoption of location as a value-added facility for a range of applications. Location Based Services are not about position – they are primarily about the use of location and position information as a value-add to service or product the end-user buys.

The specific objectives are:

  • Advocate location as a value-add to any appropriate application

  • Encourage and support the creation of open APIs

  • Develop and promote sustainable business models for LB

  • Offer expertise to guide regulatory and standards development

  • Provide expert input to sensitive issues such as privacy

  • Foster interoperability between technologies and applications
