The basic Engineering Viewpoint assumption is that
the services described in this International
Standard will be made available on the web to
be accessed by mobile devices, whose web
connection may be transient, in a manner similar to
permanently on-web clients.
The exception is that
the mobile client can either update
or request an update of its own geographic location at one or more
times during the process of the se
rvice interaction. There are no sp
ecific requirement
s on the network
platform, and the interface and data definitions in th
is International Standard are platform neutral.
