Abstract
A system and method for locating items using radio frequency identification tags is provided in which the tags are configured with information concerning the items to which they are attached that is formatted in a standardized Internet compatible protocol. By placing the information on the tags in an Internet compatible protocol, information from the tags can be obtained by a variety of mobile routing devices and transferred directly or indirectly to other devices utilizing the Internet. This ability to transfer information in a standardized Internet compatible protocol allows for greatly enhanced access to information contained on a tag that allows for increased abilities to locate and trace items including RFID tags configured in this manner.
