A supranet connects physical objects and places with the Internet. Supranets can be used within geotagging.[1]
History
The term "supranet" was originally defined as "a virtual network for a group on top of any integrated-services internetwork." by Luca Delgrossi and Domenico Ferrari in 1997 during the 7th International Workshop on Network and Operating System Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV).[2] The term was later used by Gartner, and described as the "fusion of the physical and digital worlds."[3]
Gartner later expanded the definition to include integrating Internet technologies, mobile communications, always-on connectivity, sensors, and human-computer interaction. Additional developments in the term encompassed electronic tagging (such as RFID), geotagging, and electronic geo-mapping. This definition is similar to the more commonly used and modern term Internet of Things
The publications that collectively coined the term anticipated the following trends as examples of supranet:
- The large increase in the number of miniature intelligent devices, such as micro-electromechanical systems or RFID tags, which in 2001 already numbered in the billions.[4]
- Electronic IDs would be assigned to physical objects and specifically manufactured products to make them uniquely identifiable.
- The production of objects that can control and take measurements from the physical world, as well as integrating with the Internet.
- The ability to track the geographic location of beings or objects carrying supranet devices.
- The Earth, its features, and the locations of Internet-capable devices would be mappable, and IP addresses would be assigned to physical regions on the Earth.
Applications
Supranets may be used in Geotagging services such as Flickr, Panoramio, or Picasa. Another example of something that would qualify as a supranet is the Virtual Australia project, which creates a complete digital twin of the country, modeling everything from sky to bedrock including significant objects and their environment.[5] The concept of supranet continues to be discussed in the media, scientific research, and product development.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
