The world of spatial data is split into individual data source
islands that have different thematic or spatial focuses. When
attempting to integrate those data sources, severe challenges arise,
since for most GIS application domains a spatial integration schema
does not exist. This is also true for the newly emerging domain of
mobile, context-aware applications. Since the users of these systems
are mobile, transborder access to spatial data or context models is
crucial for global deployment. The basis for this work is the Nexus
Augmented World Schema, a conceptual schema that serves as an
integration standard for autonomous spatial context servers. This
paper analyzes some major spatial data standards, especially with
respect to the requirements of a spatial integration schema for
context-aware applications and illustrates the Nexus approach.
