Hello, In preparation of publishing a dataset as Linked Data I am faced with a recurring problem: in which way can I publish a geometry with multiple CRSs ? This requirement is captured in the UCR document and will hopefully be tackled by the BP document and would probably be solved if we develop an agreed upon spatial ontology <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2016Mar/0057.html>, but perhaps it is possible to think of a good solution now that will help further progress? The problem is as follows: As a data publisher, I want to publish geometric data in additional reference systems next to the source CRS, as a convenience for consumers. So data could look like this (in Turtle, using the Core Location Vocabulary and GeoSPARQL) : ex:location1234 a dcterms:Location; locn:geometry "<http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/28992> POINT(139715 476443)"^^geosparql:wktLiteral , "POINT(5.1633 52.2758)"^^geosparql:wktLiteral . In this example, the source data use the Dutch national reference system and the geometry is published with CRS84 too. A user (for example a web developer that wants to be able to plot the data on a map, or a researcher that want to combine the data with other spatial data) will typically be interested in using only one CRS. How can a data consumer get the geometry data in the preferred CRS? And what can de data publisher do to accommodate that? Does someone have a good idea of how to do this? Regards, Frans
