摘要：Mass-market location-based services (LBS) have had a number of false dawns. However, the belief in their potential revenue earning capacity to business and their prospective benefits to social applications remains. As a result, research and investment has continued into the resolution of the factors that have inhibited the success of services. The demands on data provision, spatial database management systems, dissemination and maintenance services in mass-market LBS have not yet been put under operational stress as other technological limitations have proved to be stumbling-blocks at earlier stages in the development chain. Rapid progress in the resolution of these inhibitors is, however, being made. It is therefore important that data and data management issues do not become a further brake on a successful roll-out of mobile LBS. At the same time important advances are occurring in the management and update of framework data.The paper examines some of the key developments and drivers in this sector and makes recommendations for on-going research and development that the geospatial community should focus on. It briefly examines recent progress in intersecting areas of technology affecting both framework data and LBS, such as service oriented architectures, quality assurance, mobile communications and near-real-time update. It then discusses developments in the establishment of persistent geospatial interoperability test-beds within the European research community and how these developments may help increase the productivity of geospatial research and make the research results more pertinent to commercial applications
