Re: OParl project for Linked Parliamentary Data [via Open Government Community Group]

Hi, James.

Just a note on the LOCN vocabulary [1], which is among those listed at

http://popoloproject.com/appendices/terms.html

At the end of Nov 2013, the vocabulary was installed in W3C space, under
the responsibility of the LOCADD CG [2]. So, this is just to let you know
that the relevant terms, locn:Address and locn:fullAddress, should be
linked to, respectively:

http://www.w3.org/ns/locn#locn:Address

http://www.w3.org/ns/locn#locn:fullAddress

Best,

Andrea
