RE: SDW BP narrative location (and ISSUE 38)

Byron Cochrane who’s here at the OGC meeting also just offered his help! We should see how he can best contribute. We need to coordinate who does what anyhow…

Onderwerp: SDW BP narrative location (and ISSUE 38)

Rob- following up discussion in the plenary call this week, the BP Narrative is here:

You said that you'd try to identify implementation examples that fit in the 9 scenarios we've identified.

I also asked you to consider whether we should care about the fact that a Feature (OGC / ISOTC211 parlance) can only be of one (and only one) Feature Type (Class) where as in the web / linked data world a resource that is a SpatialThing [1] may also be designated as other types of thing too ... e.g. does this affect our ability to reconcile two Features that appear to be talking about the same physical thing. This relates to the ISSUE 38 questions being discussed in another WG email thread [2]
