RE: ISA Core Location Vocabulary

Hi all,

I am still working my way through all the recent activity on this group so apologies if this issue has already been discussed. One requirement Ordnance Survey has in its administrative geography linked data (http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/datasets/boundary-line) is to specify different geometries. In this case we have two: a 'representative point' and an 'extent'. So I was wondering if we should create a few subproperties of locn:geometry for a few common geometry types, e.g. "hasCentroid" [1], "boundary", "extent", "representativePoint", "mbr" etc.

Thoughts?

John 

[1] for some value of "hasCentroid"
