Position module

This document describes the Position Module and its unique Position Component. It also defines metadata for positioning, coordinates and landmarks. Positioning and localization issues involve both hardware and software. Hardware standard interface for GPS systems is defined by NMEA0183 standard, which describes electrical connections and low level byte stream protocol. Since one of the goals of eureauweb project is to provide an infrastructure widely accepted, Position Component and related items (hardware interfacing, protocols and metadata) rely on open standards and protocols
