simple object access protocol (SOAP)

protocol providing a platform-independent way for applications to communicate with each other over the internet
NOTE: SOAP technology relies on XML to define the format of the information and then adds the necessary HTTP headers to send it.

spatial location

location within three-dimensional space
NOTE 1 to entry: The “location” could be a point (consuming no space) or could consume space in one, two, or three dimensions. In any case, the location is identified within a larger space.
NOTE 2 to entry: Within ITS, locations are typically locations on or near the surface of the earth.

synchronisation markup language (SyncML)

data synchronisation protocol
NOTE: A data synchronization protocol defines the workflow for communication during a data synchronization session when the mobile device is connected to the network. The protocol supports naming and identification of records, common protocol commands to synchronize local and network data, and it can support identification and resolution of synchronization…
