Re: Requirements from UC-19

Lars, thank you for your input. Some comments:

About the proposed requirement* "**It must be possible to state that the
spatial coverage is inexact ("north of", "close to", "coordinates are
approximate")"*: We have the Spatial Metadata
<http://w3c.github.io/sdw/UseCases/SDWUseCasesAndRequirements.html#SpatialMetadata>
requirement. One of the spatial characteristics is spatial resolution. For
geometric data (expressed in coordinates), spatial resolution could have a
straightforward expression, which would be a measure of exactness. Would
that cover the "coordinates are approximate" bit? I think "North of" is
actually rather exact, it indicates a well defined area. "Close to" is yet
another matter...without any other context the expression seems
meaningless. Would it be possible to give an example that can show that it
would be beneficial to have some kind of standardisation for "close to"?

As for time, I do not yet see a requirement like the Spatial Metadata
<http://w3c.github.io/sdw/UseCases/SDWUseCasesAndRequirements.html#SpatialMetadata>
requirement
for temporal data, but I think there could be. I can think of temporal
extent, temporal resolution and temporal reference systems. Well, the
temporal reference system is a separate requirement in the spreadsheet
(column H).

Greetings,
Frans
