Thanks for all the feedback, I was not expecting so many responses!
The main idea behind the concept of Location Aware Names is to re-think the way we give name to places, from a information point of view.
Is there a better way to use names as an information unit? can we improve the current "algorithm" that we use to name places?: I think so.
It will replace the current way we name them?: I dont think so.
Is UBI the best use of Location Aware Names?: Hopefully not!, UBI is a proof of concept of the idea, maybe you can come up with something much better.
Is using RERI-NUCA better than the Street & Number: Maybe not if you already have your street and number location on a map , but is one step forward from 65° 42' N,170° 35' 60.0'' W
Actual names are made from words in the inhabitants native language, UBI names are odd: The Location Aware Names concept can be used to take language and cultural factors into account ,and create a references like "Doctor Stifus" or "Isaac Nousol" that are indistinguible from any other non Location Aware Names (see slide 43)
It will be very hard to adopt: Of course, but it can start as simple as an option to encode from the current http://goo.gl/maps/EdGCc http://goo.gl/maps/EdGCc on google to http://goo.gl/maps/FULABOS-LUNETE http://goo.gl/maps/FULABOS-LUNETE
The idea of Location Aware Names is to add a different set of options to our current way of see and use names, with their advantages and disadvantages
