	United States Patent Application: 0040233857
		The geographical location of the node is determined by a positioning device such as GPS (or equivalent) device and stored in the home information of the node.
		The GPS device may be located in the node or merely used to determine the longitude and latitude positions of the node which are then stored in the longitude and latitude fields of the node.
		2) wherein the geographical location of a node (FIG.

	Geographic Routing Project Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Furthermore, the geographic destination for a message should not be confined to a single point, but should be able to be specified as any arbitrary polygon.
		Geographic routing strives to perform the reverse function, which is to return IP addresses given a geographical location.
		Geographic routing attempts to provide the more general ability of sending a message to all recipients within a geographical area, regardless of whether or not the hosts have geographical addresses.

	Location based services
		Location Based Service or LBS, is the ability to find the geographical location of the mobile device and provide services based on this location information.
		The foundation stone of Location Based Services was laid by the Federal Communications Commission of US (www.fcc.gov) ruling which required the network operators to provide emergency services by locating the user of the mobile device within 125 metres.
		This ability to provide the user a customised service depending upon his geographical location could be used by telecommunication companies to restaurant owners.

	GEOPRIV PIDF Extensions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Introduction Geographical location information describes a physical position in the world that may correspond to the past, present or future location of a person, event or device.
		Location information can be provided without any associated means of communication - thus, the 'contact' element may or may not be present, as desired by the creator of the PIDF document.
		Consequently, when a Location Generator wants to allow a Location Server to modify such messages, they MAY encrypt such messages with a key that can be decrypted by the Location Server (the digital signature, of course, can still be created with keying material from the Location Generator's certificate).

	Middle East - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consequently, Egypt, with its Sinai Peninsula in Asia, is usually considered part of the 'Middle East', although most of the country lies geographically in North Africa.
		Also the Kurds, another Iranian people, are the largest ethnic group in the Middle East without their own state.
		The ambiguity of the term annoys some geographers, however, who have tried to popularise Southwest Asia as an alternative, although with little success.

	United States Patent Application: 0030023586
		A method according to claim 13 or 14 wherein the geographical location identifier is specified by a precise point of latitude and longitude.
		Two of the most common ways of locating relevant information on the Internet are to locate a URL in a printed publication or television advertisement and to enter it into a web browser to "visit" the URL and obtain the desired information, or to use one of the many Internet search engines.
		For example, a pizza shop might have a customer base located exclusively within a 5 km radius, but an Internet search on "pizza shops" might bring up thousands of such shops from all round the world, so that shops in the relevant geographical location are lost amongst the large number of irrelevant ones.

	Location-based service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A location-based service (or LBS) in a cellular telephone network is a service provided to the subscriber based on their current geographical location.
		This position can be known by user entry or a GPS receiver that she carries with her, but most often the term implies the use of a radiolocation function built into the cell network or handset that uses triangulation between the known geographic coordinates of the base stations through which the communication takes place.
		In the U.S. the FCC requires all new phones have this capability, and that the user be able to easily turn it off for all non-emergency uses.

		Location information is valuable to many kinds of computing and networking applications on the Internet.

	Locational analysis of public and private health services in Rohtak and Bhiwani districts, (India), 1981 to 1996
		It is important to note that the locational decisions of both types of these services do not correspond effectively to the needs of rural population; and locational patterns and functioning of both are also different.
		When modelled distances were compared with the actual distances it was found that the geographical efficiency of PHCs had declined from 1981 to 1996, although their number had increased many-folds and the actual average distance had declined (means improvement in spatial accessibility) during this period.
		On the examination of geographical distribution of RMPs it was observed that the average distance between the location of RMPs and demand points was 3.6 kilometres in 1981, increasing to 4.2 kilometres by 1991 (Table-12).

	How do I find the geographical location of a host, given its IP address ?
		Some hosts support a DNS extension which allows for hosts to enter their geographical location into their DNS record, based on an extension to DNS described in RFC 1876.
		Another attempt to express a host's geographical location via DNS is done in RFC 1712.
		The host's location on the map is based on the whois query, which may be wrong - an Israely domain might be displayed as being in Israel though it is hosted in another country.

	Location Based Services
		The application that has Location Based Service support must be able to obtain the location information and distribute that information to provide a value added service.
		The location information is typically gathered via a GPS receiver, although other methods are available.
		With this location information, users can graphically map their current location and the location of other imov Messenger users on their roster, and obtain routing (driving) directions to and from addresses and users.

		Florence is located in northwest Italy, along the banks of the River Arno which flows from the mountains to the west of the city into the Ligurian Sea off the east coast of Italy.
		As a result of the city's small geographical size, it is both densely populated and polluted, traffic is also a problem, and many people navigate the city's narrow streets by cycles and scooters.

	O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference 2004
		Location information is frequently propagated on the Internet today without any appreciable privacy controls, creating a troubling opportunity for potential abuse of user location by advertisers or other unwelcome parties.
		The Geographical Location and Privacy (GEOPRIV) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has investigated a number of problems related to the distribution of geographical information on the Internet, from both a security angle and a policy angle.
		The result of the IETF's work is a generic framework for the creation and distribution of location information on the Internet that enables confidentiality and policy directives, which are abstracted from the format of the location information.

	Exploiting Geographical Location Information of Web Pages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		We make the case for identifying and exploiting the geographical location information of web sites so that web applications can rank information in a geographically sensitive fashion.
		For instance, when a user in Palo Alto issues a query for "Italian Restaurants," a web search engine can rank results based on how close such restaurants are to the user's physical location rather than based on traditional IR measures.
		In this paper, we first consider how to compute the geographical location of web pages.

		To provide geographical location information, it is necessary to define the relationship between topological location identified by the IP address on the Internet and geographical location in the real world.
		The GLI system consists of three components: (1) servers that maintain geographical location information for each entity in databases, (2) agents that register entity geographical location information to servers, and (3) clients that issue entity/location queries.

		As specified herein, geographical location is captured in terms of GPS coordinates (and associated data) only; a format for communicating temporary changes in physical location (i.e., address) is defined in User Physical Location [1].
