A friend sent me a link to the open source project Devolia Geo, a RPC
service providing geolocation. RPC stands for remote procedure call
which is "[...] an Inter-process communication technology that allows a
computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in
another address space (commonly on another computer on a shared
network) without the programmer explicitly coding the details for this
remote interaction." From the Deviola site: "Devolia Geo is a RPC
(Remote Procedure Call) service providing geolocation (i.e. the service
returns the closest city and country names from latitude and
longitude)." That said, the same page in French provides some more
information, including the capability to tie Devolia with Google Maps
or smartphones such as an iPhone.
