Misschien interessant om eens naar te kijken... Ik zie dat dit
origineel van een OpenStreetMap lijst afkomt, ik kreeg hem via de
OpenMoko mailing list binnen. It's a small world after all...

Hi,
I want to tell that I develop a new OSM-Routing application as a Web-service
and website.
A first version for complete Germany (over 1,4 million street segements) just
went online in a
very first prototype version at: http://www.openrouteservice.org
The interesting thing is that it uses both free and open OSM street data and
also an "open" international standard for the routing API. It is the Open
Location Services Route Service Specification of the Open Geospatial
Consortium (OGC).
It also supports "avoidareas" which are regions that shall be avoided by the
routing algorithm.
Possible usage scenarios include disasters, traffic jams, construction works
etc.
At the moment the first version of the interactive Website is online, but the
idea is to publish also the
URL for the web-service itself, so that it can be used as OGC Web Service
using a standardised
OpenLS XML-Request. This would allow to use the service easily - and in an
interoperable way
in your own applcaitions. Some more information on this idea can be found in
our publications: see
at http://www.openrouteservice.org -> Info.
Of course we plan to integrate other countries, too, but first we need to
improve the application,
adding data then is easy. As we have implemented a range of further OGC
OpenLS core services.
in the next days further functionalities and services will be added, such as
a OGC Geocoder
(OpenLS Location Utility Service Specification) using OSM Data ...
best whishes
