RE: Area of spatial objects

Unfortunately http://dbpedia.org/ontology/area is not general - it is bound to m2.
http://qudt.org/vocab/quantity#Area is good-ish, but QUDT v2 has been in the pipeline for several years now (more than 5) but its publication is stalled ☹

Hi Nick,

A good general property for specifying area could be http://dbpedia.org/ontology/area. But since you are already using QUDT, how about http://qudt.org/vocab/quantity#Area?


As for relating a feature to different areas depending on CRS, I think it would be best to first link a feature to geometries (a different geometry for each CRS) and then link each geometry to both a CRS and an area.

Greetings,
Frans
