A Uniform Resource Identifier for Geographic Locations
RFC 5870, “A Uniform Resource Identifier for Geographic Locations”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2010 by A. Mayrhofer, C. Spanring. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for geographic locations using the 'geo\' scheme name. A 'geo' URI identifies a physical location in a two- or three-dimensional coordinate reference system in a compact, simple, human-readable, and protocol-independent way. The default coordinate reference system used is the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
