Re: URI's for Geogrid like Resource

Hi Bernard,

I was just looking through this spec yesterday. I am not sure. These would
be have circles of uncertainty around them, so to cover the earth they would
need to overlap.

I tried this

   <dcterms:Location rdf:about="geo:37.000000,-93.000000;u=10000">
     <geonames:name>Species Occurrence Area 37.000000, -93.000000
Uncertainty Radius 10,000 meters</geonames:name>
     <geonames:featureClass rdf:resource="http://www.geonames.org/ontology#S
"/>
     <geonames:featureCode rdf:resource="
http://www.geonames.org/ontology#OBPT"/>
     <geonames:inCountry rdf:resource="http://www.geonames.org/countries/#US
"/>
     <geonames:locationMap rdf:resource="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/examples/soa/N93d0_W37d0_10000.html"/>
     <txn:kml_link>
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/examples/soa/N93d0_W37d0_10000.kml
</txn:kml_link>
     <dcterms:partOf rdf:resource="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/examples/soa/N93d0_W37d0_10000.rdf"/>
     <skos:closeMatch rdf:resource="http://sws.geonames.org/000000"/>
   </dcterms:Location>

At http://lod.taxonconcept.org/examples/soa/N93d0_W37d0_10000.rdf


   GeoNames:
   Feature Class #S  .. spot, building, farm
   Feature Code  #OBPT ....observation point  a wildlife or scenic
observation point

What I would like to be able to do is make the following statements:

<http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp#Species> <geospecies:isExpectedIn>
<geo:37.000000,-93.000000;u=10000>.

<geo:37.000000,-93.000000;u=10000> <geospecies:hasExpectationOf> <
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp#Species>.

Then you could do the following:

iPhone, iPad, Android

Get current GPS
  Choose Organismal Group (Plantae, Animalia, Reptilia etc.)

  Retrieve list of species expected in your current SOA (Species Occurrence
Area)
  with links to more information about them

P.S. I made the kml with too many points so it does not seem to show up in
the html map page.

I have attached a smaller image of what shows up in GoogleEarth.
