1. Current Entry: "Spatial thing: Anything with spatial extent, i.e. size, shape, or position. e.g. people, places, bowling balls, as well as abstract regions like cubes. Compare with the ISO definition for Spatial Object. [ W3C-BASIC-GEO]" 2. The ISO definition is actually for a 'spatial object'. URI: http://registry.it.csiro.au/sandbox/iso-tc211/terms/419, or TC211 spreadsheet "object used for representing a spatial characteristic of a feature" Defined in ISO 19107:2003 3. W3C-BASIC-GEO does not seem to try anything as rash as defining a spatial thing. 4. I propose to stick with the ISO definition, and thus probably no change needed to the 95 occurrences of 'Spatial Thing' in the BP. Also add an abstract 2D example. Glossary would read: "Spatial thing: Anything with spatial extent (i.e. size, shape, or position) used for representing a spatial characteristic of a feature. Examples are: people, places, bowling balls, as well as abstract regions like polygons or cubes.[[http://www.isotc211.org/TC211_Multi-Lingual_Glossary-2016-06-28_Published.xls|ISO/TC 211 Multi-Lingual Glossary of Terms]]" Chris Little Co-Chair, OGC Meteorology & Oceanography Domain Working Group IT Fellow - Operational Infrastructures Met Office FitzRoy Road Exeter Devon EX1 3PB United Kingdom Tel: +44(0)1392 886278 Fax: +44(0)1392 885681 Mobile: +44(0)7753 880514 E-mail: chris.little@metoffice.gov.uk http://www.metoffice.gov.uk I am normally at work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week
