[ZOO-Discuss] Thank you for inviting me to this ZOO-ML.

[Naoki Ueda]

Hello Gérald and ZOO members,

Thank you for inviting me to this ML.
My name is Nao (Naoki Ueda) of Locazing Inc. Japan.

I came from IT industry and have been playing with
GoogleMaps/Yahoo!Maps/MSVE APIs for almost five years, but I am a novice
in GIS field including FOSS4G tools. But I hope I can contribute
something in ZOO project. Since I made sensor circuit (ZooBox sensor)
for FOSS4G Osaka, I think I could be some help in hardware things.

What I usually do is following three.
1. Research of 'GEOCODEs'.
 (Research paper)
http://www.locapoint.com/en/doc/The_GEOCODE_Encyclopedia.pdf
2. Developping GIS data compression.
 (Magazine article
)http://www.gisdevelopment.net/magazine/global/2008/june/40.htm
3. Geocoder engine for traditional addresses in Kyoto Japan.

Anyway, it is so nice to meet you on this ML.
Regards,
Nao
