How would you specify subsets of geographic regions? With additional selectors like polygon shapes or using identifiers in the geographic data describing the regions? I am have been thinking a lot about annotation selectors on images that go beyond #xywh media fragments (I am trying to write up something for the W3C workshop on annotations in the web). My current idea would be to adopt something from the geo-world like WKT and GeoJSON. I think it would be great to have an overlap to geo-annotations.

We are using this for annotating climate science and Earth observation datasets but this could have application within the broader remit of GIS applications. Could this be relevant here or does it come under the category of 'data annotation' that you mention? Maybe you or others on the list are aware of similar activities in this area. >> >> Thanks, >> Phil >> >>> On 24 Feb 2014, at 22:52, Robert Sanderson wrote: >>> >>> >>> Dear all, >>> >>> The W3C Digital Publishing Interest Group is going to publish a working draft of a Note on Annotation use cases in the near future.
