The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Relative Location Representation' (draft-ietf-geopriv-relative-location-07.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Geographic Location/Privacy Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Richard Barnes and Gonzalo Camarillo. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-geopriv-relative-location/ Technical Summary: This document defines an extension to PIDF-LO (RFC4119) for the expression of location information that is defined relative to a reference point. The reference point may be expressed as a geodetic or civic location, and the relative offset may be one of several shapes. Optionally, a reference to a secondary document (such as a map image) can be included, along with the relationship of the map coordinate system to the reference/offset coordinate system to allow display of the map with the reference point and the relative offset. Also included in this document is a Type/Length/Value (TLV) representation of the relative location for use in other protocols that use TLVs. Working Group Summary: This document is the product of many years of discussion within the WG. Ultimately, a design team comprised of authors with originally differing views came together to produce a specification that obtained WG consensus. Document Quality: There are both existing implementations of what is specified here and plans to implement it. Personnel: Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director? Alissa Cooper is the document shepherd. Richard Barnes is the responsible area director.
