Hello I think that specification of Coordinate Reference Systems is key to a representation of geolocation within a Space Ontology. There are recent activities from within OGC & ISO, extending the Coordinate Reference System Model (ISO19111) (docs.opengeospatial.org/as/18-005r4/18-005r4.html) and providing an encoding format for instances of Coordinate Reference System Definitions. (ISO19162) (updated with respect to 19111, not yet published by OGC/ISO, but imminent) (a previous iteration is available here http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/12-063r5/12-063r5.html) This is a wide ranging and complicated topic. Initially this may be able to be sensibly handled by referencing out to these standards and encodings, rather than implementing all the details explicitly within an Ontology. This may at least provide a valuable first step For example, a URI referencing a CRS entity defined in text using Well Known Text for Coordinate Reference Systems might provide a basis for spatial referencing within the proposed Space Ontology. The complications involved in representing the Coordinate Reference System model fully within an Ontology may be seen as intellectually interesting, but could be a significant activity in its own right, without bringing proportionate benefit. I am happy to provide some more input on this if it is valuable mark -- GitHub Notification of comment by marqh Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1095#issuecomment-470989906 using your GitHub account
