ABSTRACT
Location-Based Services (LBSs) and Social Networks (SN) have been developed independently with different technologies and for different purposes. However, due to their success with respect to the demand for them and for the reason that they overlap in utilizing "location" information in some applications and services, location-based social networks (LBSNs) are emerging. In this paper, we present a LBSN which is focused on navigation experience and sharing called Social Navigation Network (SoNavNet). Starting with an ontology, the details of SoNavNet, including architecture and functions, are provided and a prototype SoNavNet to demonstrate the capabilities and features of LBSNs is presented.
