The information must be kept up to date. Please submit corrections and additions to DeiC.
Service locations should be understood as places where to find the service (hotspots), a building or a coherent complex. One location per building is recommended. Each entry is going to act as a point on the map of 'service locations' which the Operational Team publishes.
Refer to "eduroam database specification". The official sample XML files and official XSD's may be found here: zip file
Specify longitude and latitude either in degrees/minutes/seconds (12°33'41.37"E; 55°41'2.25"N) or decimal (12.561493; 55.683960).
Below you find an example of XML-formatted data for an imaginary university. When you specify a number of service locations, do so by duplicating the <location> structure. Location name should begin with an abbreviation for the institution, example: "Lille Universitet" is normally shortened to "LU"; used as follows: <loc_name lang = "en"> LU Storested </ loc_name>.
