= Data Aggregation =

Along with [wiki:NodesDatabase/Schema schema] it would be good if we define also a way/system for data aggregation so that we could also use common services (like one huge [wiki:SourceCode/NodeMap map] of all nodes from all networks with (near) real-time status data).

== Web Service ==

Freifunk Node Database can be accessed as a RESTful webservice to either read or even manipulate its content. Example: http://db.hannover.freifunk.net/nodes.xml
