Mandana - Thank you for providing this latest version of the model. Upon review, I would strongly encourage this group to look at the Location Work standards work that has been completed in the IETF. There are several internet RFCs that rigorously define a location object for use in a variety of internet standards (such as PIDF, SIP, ECRIT, etc). The location object can contain civic and/or geodetic location content. The internet community spent several years working these standards in collaboration with OMA, the OGC, and the telecommunications industry. Further, the primary use cases were derived from emergency services requirements. Finally, these standards WILL be required as mandatory in the Next Generation 9-1-1 activity in the United States. NG 9-1-1 is all about enhancing the current emergency call (911) architecture and implementation to work with the mobile society (IP enabled). Information on the IETF work can be found at http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/geopriv-charter.html and specifically check out RFCs 4079, 4119, and 5139. Apologies for jumping into the discussion this way, but I feel that we need to try to insure consistency of the expression of location across multiple communities and standards activities.
