Re: Geography and Spatial Information

Hi Dave,

I guess GeoVocab is "optional" as stated in our charter, point 5. [1]
Nevertheless, as you can see in our wiki here [2], there are some inputs 
where I do contribute to some initial pointers, as I am really 
interested in this domain.

Phil mentioned GeoVocab and there is a new version available after the 
GeoVocamp held in Madrid [3] (credits to Boris and OEG for the good 
organisation), and one of the outcome was the so-called "NeoGeo 
spec-Madrid Edition [4]. We are in the testing phase and are planning to 
use this vocab for representing Geo Data in the french context.

I thinks it will be great if we decide to have an active work on this as 
GeoData are connected to many other vocabs (people, organization, 
places, etc..)

Cheers,
