document: Open and decentralized access across location-based services Users now interact with multiple Location-Based Services ( LBS ) through a myriad set of location-aware devices and interfaces . However , current LBS tend to be centralized silos with ad-hoc APIs , which limits potential for information sharing and reuse . Further , LBS subscriptions and user experiences are not easily portable across devices . We propose a general architecture for providing open and decentralized access to LBS , based on Tiled Feeds - a RESTful protocol for access and interactions with LBS using feeds , and Feed Subscription Management ( FSM ) - a generalized feed-based service management protocol . We describe two client designs , and demonstrate how they enable standardized access to LBS services , promote information sharing and mashup creation , and offer service management across various types of location-enabled devices .
