All rights reserved. 7 Ubiquitous ID “ucode” Architecture Features of ucode (Ubiquitous CODE) architecture Identifier that can be put on all things Machine readable (128 bit binary code) Meaning-less number (Not based on MAC address etc.) It can number all things at random if necessity

All rights reserved. 8 Ubiquitous ID “ucode” Architecture 2 Data model (It is named UCR.: UCode Relation) –Compatible with RDF –Recognizable as URI (It corresponds to Resource of RDF. ) ucode:A0DC3-45DA-25Df-8375-90AC-BEA0-98C9-34FC –Variety of ucode Virtual ucode ： It is ucode numbered to concept. –Relation ucode : It is ucode numbered to relation. ( It corresponds to property of RDF. And it can quote the vocabulary for RDF. ) Real ucode ： It is ucode numbered to real thing.

(html, SVG etc.) –It is not based on machine understandable data. It interoperates with all information systems with both loose and sloppy coupling. (by meaning-less hyper-link) –It does not require completeness of data and systems.

It is possible to process by GIS. –http://esw.w3.org/topic/GeoMetadataOverSvg Vocabularies: 1.UCR – Spatial Metadata: Vocabulary for basic spatial metadata based on W3C basic geo vocabulary.UCR – Spatial Metadata: 2.UCR – Spatial Network: Vocabulary for the spatial network. It enhances the above-mentioned vocabulary. And it suits with the logical network structure of RDF.UCR – Spatial Network: 3.UCR – Spatial Accessibility: Vocabulary to express spatial accessibility for mover such as pedestrian, handicapped person, etc.
