Technical Summary

This document describes an XML-based protocol for mapping service
identifiers and geodetic or civic location information to service
contact URIs. In particular, it can be used to determine the
location-appropriate PSAP for emergency services.

Working Group Summary

There is consensus in the WG to publish this document.

Protocol Quality

The LoST protocol has been implemented during the
development of the specification. Two public implementations 
are available and other company-internal implementations
have been reported to the chairs. Tests have been performed
between two public implementations and useful feedback was 
provided to the working group. 

The LoST specification has experienced extensive review, 
including reviews by other SDOs. The protocol is an important 
building block in the NENA i3 architecture.
