Just a bit of clarification. The sosa:hasResult property links to a sosa:Result class that takes value and units as separate fields. This is in line with i18n comments on Data on the Web Best Practices which are fully reflected at [1]. However, there is also a property sosa:hasSimpleResult that takes a literal. With the DWBP experience in mind, I raised this as an issue encouraging the authors to strongly recommend/insist that the value of sosa:hasSimpleResult should be a typed literal thereby including making the units explicit.

The Spatial Data on the Web Working Group does not believe that this ontology has i18n issues (with one exception noted below) and did not ask the i18n working group for review before today.

That class separates actual values from units, using typed literals, which seems like the right thing to do. However, datatyping is not explicitly encouraged by the spec for the time being, and one of the examples in the spec currently uses a string without any datatype. This is being discussed in: > https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2017Jun/0023.html > > You may raise i18n issues on the group's GitHub repository, which already has "i18n-comments" and "i18n-tracking" labels. The Spatial Data on the Web Working Group is tight on schedule as it needs to finish its work by the end of June. Let us know if there's anything we can do to speed up the review. I went through the self-review checklist but did not see anything that directly applies to this specification. > > Thanks, > Francois. > -- Phil Archer Data Strategist, W3C http://www.w3.org/ http://philarcher.org +44 (0)7887 767755 @philarcher1
