Object hyperlinking

Object hyperlinking aims to extend the Internet to the physical world by attaching tags with URLs to tangible objects or locations.

These object tags can then be read by a wireless mobile device and information about objects and locations retrieved and displayed.

However, object hyperlinking may also be sensible for contexts other than the Internet (e.g. with data objects in data base administering or with text content management).

The object hyperlinking systems described above will make it possible to link comprehensive and editable information to any object or location.

What has emerged so far is a mixture of social and commercial applications.
