Re: tweet2rdf vocabulary convergence

Benji,

Oscar Corcho and I are going to present a short paper at the upcoming
Semantic Sensor Network workshop at ISWC titled Linked Data Streams where we
introduce requirements for publishing stream data as linked data and also
give a proposal of human friendly URIs which take in account space and time.
For example, we propose to have URIs to identify everything: (Juan's tweet
in Spain during July). I'll send a pointer to the paper once it is public.

Twitter will also start saving geo-location of each tweets [1]
