What Methods are out there for Dynamic Location Referencing?

Question

I'm looking for (industry) standards and implementations to solve the problem of dynamic location referencing (communication of location between systems which have dissimilar maps).

I would like to communicate information from one system using a map from vendor A to another system using a map from vendor B. It's not possible to exchange the maps.

The only thing I've been able to find were:

• OpenLR™ by TomTom which is open source (but doesn't seem to have an active community), and
• AGORA-C a non-free ISO standard

Do you know any other standards/methods to approach this problem? What's your experience with them?

You might try: Dynamic location: an iconic model to synchronize temporal and spatial transportation data. I heard TxDOT tried to implement this with limited success.
