Re: Agenda for Best Practice sub-group, 14:00UTC 1-June-2016

I’m questioning whether that is a good idea.

In ISO 19109, it's a real-world target of discourse, that can have properties, including one or more geometric model representations. I'm tending towards making GF_Feature an owl:Thing, and leaving GM_Object as a SpatialObject.
