Re: Geography and Spatial Information

Dave, hi,

Are you referring to NeoGeo [1]?

The GLD charter provides the option to create a vocab in this area and 
the ISA CV on location is to be 'an input'. IMO - and it is just my 
opinion, not the settled view of the GLD WG or W3C - we could look at 
combining NeoGeo (geometry, maps and all that) with ISA CV (yes, 
geometries but also addresses that an be derived directly from INSPIRE 
data) and create something very useful.

I have exchanged e-mails with Andreas (it's my turn to write again) on 
this but is there somewhere else we should be looking too?

N.B. There's also the Point of Interest WG in which some of the OGC 
chaps are involved too [2]
