Re: [sdw] BP 10 http://www.bbc.co.uk/ontologies gone (#1328)

@oldskeptic:

> it is one of many interpretations of the inter-provincial boundaries in a dispute that dates back to before the [BNA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfoundland_and_Labrador%E2%80%93Quebec_border) act. Costly business and policy decisions have already been made based on different maps of the boundaries. What happens when a geocoder determines sales tax or residency using this geometry? 

Not all maps are general purpose, and if you have a specific application in mind you are wise to identify data to use that fits the purpose, for which search engines are the usual tool for identification.  For example, we created an application that details the [evolution of the territory of Canada](https://atlas.gc.ca/ette/en/index.html), so perhaps that is a more suitable search result depending on the use case.

This application was offered as an example of link relations, because of BP 10 being the subject of this thread.  The Web is founded on links, and the application makes use of what we're interpreting [HTML-standard link relations](https://maps4html.org/web-map-doc/docs/elements/link/#rel) and [targets](https://maps4html.org/web-map-doc/docs/other-elements/map-a/#target-behavior-for-textmapml) might mean in the context of linked geospatial data (maps).
