applications.
TPEG applications contain the information required by a client TPEG decoder (i.e. both Location Referencing
and event information), to present all the information intended for the end-user when it was originated by the
service provider.
Location Referencing requires a service provider to give an impression or image, to the human end-user, of
where an event has taken place. This cannot be done easily because the human end-user may or may not be
familiar with the location. tpeg-loc has the added challenge of attempting to be as language independent as
possible. This is achieved by the use of tpeg-loc tables (essentially word-oriented data object dictionaries).
tpeg-loc is the recommended Location Referencing system for TPEG. It provides location data in a machine
readable form that allows a ¿thick¿ client such as a navigation system to map-match, on-the-fly, to locate the
event being described onto a digital map display. However, it is possible to additionally use other location
methods, such as the ¿Link-id¿ method by suitably modifying the tpegML.dtd to include the relevant lines.
