Re: [Moderator Action] RE: Agenda for today's telecon

John,

Good points all. We do have a general need to refine the use cases  
presented in the group charter.  Immediate and explicit work item,  
though, is both to propose the new geo ontology and to set a pattern  
for going about additional geospatial ontologies. For example, how  
shall we continue on with a broader ISO / GML feature ontology, as  
well as basic ontologies for the "relationshiptag" and "featuretype"  
properties in geo?

Hope you can join later, as well as undertake some of this work. BTW,  
I will be traveling and unable to host next week's call. Would you be  
willing to take up these topics in my stead?

Cheers,

Josh
