Hi, I agree we need this discussion. I might point out that with GML we started small (in 1998/9) with GML 1.0 and that even by GML 2.0 it was more or less the same size. Only in GML 3.0 - 2003 did we start making it larger - not by changing the base model - but by elaborating a larger category of base objects that could be used in creating application schemas.

There is usually some tension between starting small and creating a comprehensive foundation. In this case I envision that there are plenty of tools on both the SemWeb and GeoWeb sides. The small steps (e.g. GeoRSS) are working out how they can effectively be combined. An OWL realization of the GML / 19107 feature model is sitting out there as a somewhat straightforward goal, but we (at least I) do not understand yet how best to enhance both sides with this development.
