Re: Weather related information published as Linked Data

Hi Keith,

thanks for the links, http://metoffice.dataincubator.org/ in particular
will be a good example to show the guys here.

Just wondering, is there an established Linked Data pattern for modelling
the concept of "current", e.g. either the "current" temperature or the
"current" weather forcast? In both those cases it would link back to the
last observation or forcast made, with the "current" value being updated
with the next reading or forcast. What I am thinking of is a Comet style
screen widget (e.g. using Lift (http://liftweb.net/)) that continuously
reports the updated value of the current temperature.

Cheers,

Richard
