Location-based applications need information that can be spatially
accessed. Typically, this data is exspecially gathered and
preprocessed in a particular way (e.g. in a spatial data base). Up
to now most of these applications ignore an existing large
information space, the World Wide Web. Web pages can be mapped to
locations and then accessed by location-aware applications with
spatial predicates. We want to automate the process of mapping web
pages to locations because of the huge amount of data available in
the WWW. Our web robot DCbot analyses web pages using pre-defined
rules and spatial knowledge and maps them to locations. In the
demonstration we will show some location mapping results of DCbot
and, in addition, we will let DCbot scan locally stored web pages at
demonstration time, so that effects of changes of the content can be
shown.
