The existing Internet architecture lacks support for naming locations and resolving them to the myriad addressing mechanisms we use beyond IP. We propose the Spatial Name System (SNS) that allows for the assignment of hierarchical location-based names and for resolution schemes that are both global and local. Since we extend the DNS, our scheme allows for the integration of spatial names into existing applications and opens up new possibilities for sensor networks and augmented reality.
