Hi Konrad, > To question 3: First, I think that depending on the projection and scale, a > rectangle on a map is not/only nearly representable by a rectangle in > geocoordinates. Hmmm, so what would you propose to do? > Furthermore, the representation you chose (""W 13' - E 49' / N 45°58' - N > 45°33'""") is not very easily machine-readable because you code a rectangle > into a single literal and also use a coordinate notation that needs additional > parsing. Yes, the example probably was not very well chosen. Internally, all four points in the literal are stored separately, so it should be no problem to publish them in a more machine-understandable fashion. > Maybe polygons like the ones used in LinkedGeoData would be helpful? From the point of view of the geosemweb community: How would you prefer to have this data represented? Thanks, Lars ***Lesen. Hören. Wissen. Deutsche Nationalbibliothek*** ***Reading. Listening.
