Methods, Systems, And Computer Program Products For Accessing A Resource Based On Metadata Associated With A Location On A Map

A system for accessing a resource based on metadata associated with a location on a map, the system comprising components including:

• means for providing a map representing a geospatial region, wherein a resource accessible via a network address identifying a network interface of a resource provider node has a geospatial location in the geospatial region, the geospatial location associated with the network address;
• means for receiving resource information identifying the resource to the resource provider node and location information identifying a map location representing the geospatial location in the map representing the geospatial region;
• means for associating the resource information as resource metadata with the map location;
• and
• means for providing for accessing the resource via the map with the network address identifying the network interface of the resource provider determined based on the geospatial location represented by the map location and the resource metadata identifying the resource to the resource provider,
• wherein at least one of the means includes at least one electronic hardware component.

A system for accessing a resource based on metadata associated with a location on a map, the system comprising system components including:

• a map handler component configured to provide a map representing a geospatial region, wherein a resource accessible via a network address identifying a network interface of a resource provider node has a geospatial location in the geospatial region, the geospatial location associated with the network address;
• a content handler component configured to receive resource information identifying the resource to the resource provider node and location information identifying a map location representing the geospatial location in the map representing the geospatial region;
• a navigation space handler component configured to associate the resource information as resource metadata with the map location, the content handler component further configured to provide for accessing the resource via the map with the network address identifying the network interface of the resource provider determined based on the geospatial location represented by the map location and the resource metadata identifying the resource to the resource provider,
• wherein at least one of the system components includes at least one electronic hardware component.

A computer readable medium storing a computer program, executable by a machine, for accessing a resource based on metadata associated with a location on a map, the computer program comprising executable instructions for:

• providing a map representing a geospatial region, wherein a resource accessible via a network address of a resource provider node has a geospatial location in the geospatial region, the geospatial location associated with the network address;
• receiving resource information identifying the resource to the resource provider node and location information identifying a map location representing the geospatial location in the map representing the geospatial region;
• associating the resource information as resource metadata with the map location;
• and
• providing for accessing the resource via the map with the network address of the resource provider determined based on the geospatial location represented by the map location and the resource metadata identifying the resource to the resource provider.
