This is an initial landing page for the Location Industry Working Group (IWG) at Eclipse. A proper web site will replace this page in the future.
This industry working group is governed by the Eclipse Foundation Industry Working Group Process document. You can also read more about the Eclipse Foundation.
Contents
Location Industry Working Group
The Location Industry Working Group (IWG) is a partnership between organizations with a strong interest in location technologies.
Location technology is technology for tracking, analysing, and visualizing data expressing relative location measured in some dimensions.
The IWG is currently forming and is expected to formally launch Q3-2012. This date may change due to strong interest.
Initiative Goals
This group exists to enable organizations to invest in and benefit from open source Location technologies.
Activities
- Growing user communities and outreach
- Growing developer communities
- Growing research communities and encouraging innovation
- Growing business communities and markets
- Drive increased adoption of location technology, and interoperability
- Nurture a vibrant ecosystem for the above communities
Expected outputs
- A software forge & build farm including discussion forums and mailing lists
- Location aware open source technology projects
- A platform, released annually, providing reusable, modular, and "IP Clean" software components
- Joint marketing materials, and events
FAQ
See the frequently asked questions page for more useful information
Charter
See the Draft Charter for more useful information including dues.

Recruit
If you know others that would be interested, invite them to this page and the discussion list.
Areas of Interest
- Main stream adoption of location-aware technologies
- Software/libraries for mobile and web based applications/services
- Software/libraries for processing big data/ very high performance location data processing
- Images
- Geocoding and routing
- Analytics
- Building Information Modelling (BIM)
- Evolution of the spatial database
- Data exchange standards
Lead projects
One product of this IWG will be new projects. See a guide on creating a new project at Eclipse.
The Location IWG will provide a forge (code repository, bug tracker, build farm, etc.) for related technology. The following are projects that plan to host in this facility.
- uDig - A GIS Framework for Eclipse
- Jackpine - a geospatial database benchmarking suite
- GeoScript - project adding spatial capabilities to scripting languages
We are interested in new projects. If you have some R&D that would benefit from more eyes & developers to advance it, or some useful technology you need to have but it isn't a source of competitive advantage, consider releasing it.
Roadmap
The following is tentative roadmap.
