Re: Category Primitive

Hello,

In thinking further about this topic of categories of places, I wish to 
ask if the document which has been released by the EU last month on the 
topic of geo spatial codes might be of interest.

Please look at 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2011:031:0013:0034:EN:PDF 


which is an appendix to this piece of legislation
