A NIC could serve a new top level domain ".geo" |
|||
The hierarchy under that TLD could be predefined as |
|||
<[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN/LOCODE UN LOCODE]>.<[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2 ISO 3166-2 subdivision]>.<[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code]>.geo |
|||
For example: |
|||
nyc.ny.us.geo for New York, USA and |
|||
cgn.nw.de.geo for Cologne, Germany. |
|||
Airports could be listed under <[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IATA IATA code]>.airport.geo. |
|||
IATA codes and location codes could link conveniently to a map of the region. (e.g. on Google Earth, [http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/98258 Global View] or similar services, possibly based on user preferences). [[Charityware#Firefox_browser|NASA World Wind]] could probably also be used. |
|||
On the next level businesses could reserve their own homepages. |
|||
All "www" addresses could be reserved as free redirects to the home page of a city, region or airport. |
|||
The address "here.geo" could aim to redirect to the appropriate location based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOC_record DNS LOC records] and related information. |
|||
An associated volunteer CA could sign [http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Draft-fastenrath-ethics-search-protocol-00#Imprint ESP imprints] (or something similar) for a donation of ten laptops to the [[Special Laptop Program]]. |
|||
== Service type == |
|||
One could also register businesses according to service type. A service type identifier could then list all businesses of that type: supermarket.nyc.ny.us.geo (or "supermarket.here.geo") would list all known supermarkets in New York (with an option to switch between map and list view). |
|||
Returning lists in XML format (with XSLT stylesheets for local HTML generation) would allow the client to display a list in any way desired. |
|||
== Schools == |
|||
The Geo NIC could offer free home pages to all schools in developing countries. |
