The eGov IG and the GLD WG share a "Community Directory". Communities, be they territory controlled by a particular government, local school systems, National Subdivisions, Cities, etc., all need a location service (which may be a decentralized, but inter-operable catalog) to relate a central mapping mark to coverage area. In the vast majority of cases relating to governance, this will be an actual Landmark - a labeled position. Communities have their own space. There are two issues with legacy systems: 1. The "one size fits all" approach is not frugal. It leads to the development of virtual economic and political "fly-over" zones. These are not part of (broader than) the Community Structure. 2. The fine structure of a Community Policies, Strategies, mores and local conditions are disconnected from the global scope of scientific issues. An overlap is permissible, but a multiplier causes problems This "Community Planning" manifesto [PDF] may help. http://tinyurl.com/3zyoj8l links to http://www.rustprivacy.org/2011/phase/community-strategy.pdf --Gannon
