I can think of no reason to see the URI minting problem as something that is inherently spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal. Besides that, there already are some good guidelines on minting URIs out there. 

It isn’t necessarily a critical for a useful URI, but space-time is a domain and that suggests some value in organizing the URI’s that explicitly reference features in it. Otherwise multiple unrelated URI’s are created that resolve to the same location or feature with resultant overhead to assert their relationships. This is especially related to the use case for authoritative framework data.

Two things came up that indicate that we might want to go a step further: Firstly, the OGC reference systems do have URIs, but they are not dereferencable to data describing the reference systems. Secondly, it would be good to have some best practice for the description of reference systems in general, not just earth-based reference systems. 

Did you try clicking on the link above? It goes to an (XML) document defining the CRS.

Generally the “less common” ones are complicated because they cover a wide range of complicated situations, such as the SEDRIS SRM (ISO/IEC 18026:2006). They are standardized, but used mostly when they can’t be avoided. <>
