| − | ==Areas of Interest==
| + | |
| − | * Main stream adoption of location-aware technologies
| + | |
| − | * Software/libraries for mobile and web based applications/services
| + | |
| − | * Software/libraries for processing big data/ very high performance location data processing
| + | |
| − | ** Images

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Lead projects==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | One product of this IWG will be new projects. See a guide on [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Starting_A_New_Project creating a new project].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Location IWG will provide a forge (code repository, bug tracker, build farm, etc.) for related technology. The following are projects that plan to host in this facility.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [http://udig.refractions.net/ uDig - A GIS Framework for Eclipse]
