Re: Good practice for RDF publishing of multiple geometries with different CRSs?

Dear Frans, all,

We have resolved this exact problem that we have documented in this 
paper co-authored with IGN (the French National Institute of Geographic 
and Forestry Information), read 
http://www.eurecom.fr/~troncy/Publications/Atemezing_Troncy-terra14.pdf.

This comes to what Matthew wrote:
   - we defined the property http://data.ign.fr/def/geometrie#crs that 
has for domain a http://data.ign.fr/def/geometrie#Geometry which is a 
subclass of http://www.opengis.net/ont/sf#Geometry
   - we defined an entire vocabulary to properly define anyone's CRS, 
see http://data.ign.fr/def/ignf/
   - we published a list of CRSs, commonly used by IGN, with proper URI 
to identify them

Hence, the example of Matthew becomes:

ex:location1234
   a dcterms:Location ;
   locn:geometry ex:geom1234 ;
   locn:geometry ex:geom6789 ;

ex:geom1234
   a geom:Geometry ;
   geom:crs <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/28992> ;
   gsp:asWKT "<http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/28992> POINT(139715 
476443)"^^geosparql:wktLiteral.

ex:geom6789
   a geom:Geometry ;
   geom:crs <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> ;
   gsp:asWKT "<geosparql:asWKT "POINT(5.1633 
52.2758)"^^geosparql:wktLiteral.
