Title
MIMEXT: a KML Extension for Georeferencing and Easy Share MIME Type Resources.
Abstract
Georeferenced information is becoming more important in today's society leading to different techniques for georeferencing resources. Most of these techniques present some problems by the internal modification of the file and/or because of these are designed for very specific use cases, so supported formats are very limited. However, in this paper we present a new approach for a global solution to georeference and share any kind of Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) type resources. The proposed solution is based on the use of the Keyhole Markup Language (KML) and a new extension called MIMEXT for the annotation and georeference of these MIME type resources. The KML file containing the description for the resource and its geolocation is encapsulated within a KMZ file with the own resource and any other related resources such as licenses or thumbnails. This technique could facilitate to distribute, visualize and georeference a wide range of resource types not conveniently exploited yet in the GIS context.
