Dear colleagues, This is to let you know that I've just added two use cases: 1. GeoDCAT-AP This use case is about work under-way on the definition of a geospatial extension for DCAT-AP, a metadata interchange format being used across European data portals. The issues here concern not only the identification of "gaps" in existing popular RDF vocabularies for specifying, e.g., coordinate reference systems, spatial resolution, etc., but also the design principles to be followed when developing domain-specific extensions and their possible re-use in other domains - especially, to promote interoperability of spatial information. See: https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Working_Use_Cases#Geospatial_extensions_to_domain-independent_metadata_schemas_.28Best_Practice.29 2. Search engine optimisation techniques (SEO) for geospatial metadata This use case is based on work presented at INSPIRE 2014 by Adam Iwaniak (cc'ed), and it's about how to optimise geoportals to make spatial data discoverable also through popular search engines. Far from being a merely technical issue, this concerns more in general the support to multiple (meta)data representations, depending on their possible usage scenarios and the corresponding requirements. See: https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Working_Use_Cases#Improving_discovery_of_spatial_data_on_the_Web_.28Best_Practice.29 Cheers, Andrea -- Andrea Perego, Ph.D. Scientific / Technical Project Officer European Commission DG JRC Institute for Environment & Sustainability Unit H06 - Digital Earth & Reference Data Via E.
