Because of the dstbuted netok foundatonof the web, connected uses can access andceate ne content fom almost anyheeth ease. As the web has gon oe theyeas, ths ncedble exploson of nfomatonhas led to the se of the seach engne tohelp uses make sense of the enomousolume of nfomaton contaned on thenetok. Seach engnes pode eleantesults to keyod-based quees that help
users nd the information they seek.

discovery, however, were not specically
desgned to etun esults fo a quey basedon physcal locaton.Takng a ne appoach to ths demand folocaton-based nfomaton, Gloe employsa use-ecommendaton model fo attachngcontextually eleant web content to a

helpful nfomaton that coelates to a genposton on the planet.
