“…URI is a superior concept and includes URL and URN as two different ways of presentation of the same address. URL is a unified format of addressing resources which serves to identifying information, data or services available in the Internet, indicates resource location and the way of its downloading [Berners-Lee et al 2004, Mayrhofer andSpanring 2010].…”

SummaryOver the course of several years, web cartography which changed the way of presentation and exchange of information gained new sense. Techniques development and availability of geoinformation tools in connection with net data transfer new quality enabled to create maps accessible in real time according to user's preference. The aim of the paper is to characterize and evaluate technique of parameterization for net resource URL address (Uniform Resource Locator). Examples of maps presented in a browser's window according to set parameters defined in accordance with rules in force in the range of API programistic interfaces of chosen map services were presented in the paper. Maps developed by URL link parameterization technique were put to functional tests. Moreover, efficiency and utility tests were performed. Performed tests show that creating maps with help of discussed technique needs knowledge and expert abilities which may cause difficulties to less advanced users and its use allows to evoke maps in the browser's window but in the limited range.

Location-awareness, in the form of location information about clients and location-based services provided by servers, is becoming increasingly important for networked communications in general, and wireless and mobile devices in particular. The current fragmented landscape of location concepts and location-awareness, however, is not suitable for handling location information on a Web scale. Providing users with mechanisms which allow them to control how they want to expose their location information, and thus allow control over how to share location information with others and services, is a crucial step for better location management for mobile devices. This paper presents a concept for representing location vocabularies, matching and mapping them, how these vocabularies can be used to support better privacy for users of location-based services, and better location sharing between users and services. The concept is based on a language for describing place name vocabularies, which we call "Place Markup Language (PlaceML)", and on various ways how these vocabularies can be used in a location-aware infrastructure of networked devices.
